[dba-Tech] Counter Spy

Yes, automatically removing things is not a good practice. But I
automatically quarantine suspected malware because I can undo the
quarantining. And of course during the process any product you should have
the option to allow something to remain regardless of what the programmers
think of it. I have a couple of hacking programs that tend to show up when
scanning with new programs. I just place them on the exceptions list.

I guess this just proves you have to NOT let software like this do anything
automatically.
