I am always amazed on the hoops people jump through on Windows by adding third party virus checkers that employ such shit algorithms. Simple fear mongering to try to show these paid for third party checkers are "valuable" when in fact they themselves are effectively useless.

The message (and blocking) is for software that has not had the Certified by MS, (Fee paid). But they do allow informed users to do the end-around, which avoids the label 'monopolistic'
