Just wanted to throw in a few things:

First off, thanks for keeping this tool updated - it's saved me A LOT of trouble over the years. The work you've put into it is very much appreciated.

I've noticed the latest version has a tendency to crash a lot under windows 7, generally right in the middle of scan but I can't track it down to any one file. It seems relatively random. I just get the standards windows application crash screen with the option to check for solutions and such. I'd say the crash rate is about 15% of scans, but when it does go it does detect correctly. (I realize you never gave it a go for win7, just letting you know.)

Also, I just wanted to throw in my lot for something like a "lite" version of protection id. I really don't care for all the extra tools, the registry entries or the desktop icons. I'd much rather it saved anything it really needed to save to a .ini, but without all the extra bloat/tools I don't see what it would need to save. Window sizes and such can be reset launch, no big deal. I like "clean" programs. A nice simple protection identifier would be great.

And finally, can you tell me what the "autoplay enabled/disabled" icon does? It's one of the 4 or 5 icons in the upper right (near pin, minimize to tray, etc.), looks like a little cog wheel. When you click it it gets shaded blue, but if I exit out of protection id and go back in it's white again. It doesn't seem to affect the CD or removable device autoplay setting at all - nor does it cause protection id to automatically scan or something like that. If you'd tell me what exactly this option changes (what registry entry) and what it was supposed to have done originally I'd appreciate it.
