Agree. Good luck with your ventures, Jason. You'll be missed here.

@panzer78 Ha! Took me 3 failed attempts to reply to your post, and ended up with the wrong picture attached to it (wtf?). Editing the comment multiple times has failed to fix that, at least from what I see (it was supposed to be Michael Bolton gif.).

We're experiencing technical difficulties. Please standy by.

@Howard Blair: Yep. I did a spit-take when I first heard the "permanently damage your PC" line myself. Still eye roll the whole thing.

@Koshinn: Damn, I missed you in gray but I'd promote this comment again (now that it is) if I could.

@SophT: "CyberDefender Research Labs sounds like a purveyor of scareware - and I think the #advertisement tag needs to be added to this article."

Ironically, the author CyberDefender are also the owners of MyCleanPC, DoubleMySpeed, MaxMySpeed, and others similar "products" that are also defined in this list.

This really puts a damper on my gleeful anticipation of porting my ole copper w/ LD line to GV.

Add in the energy costs to this decision too.

@agog: Agree, It would have been helpful. I'm thinking since this poor woman had the implant 5 years ago before the newest rules - it probably never came up before. She can't be the only one TSA has ever seen who isn't familiar and has an implant.

@PaintedTrollop: The title of the article is pretty misleading. I couldn't find the apology anywhere.

@CreepinJesus: Nice step by step there. Note, that's for Windows 7 and it's for MSE version 2, which both have different program paths to the MpCmdRun.exe.

@baritoneuk: Yes, if you use "System" (NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM) as the user to run the task, you won't get the pop up.

@Letsan: Windows Update will bring down the most recent MSE update with it if you need it. If MSE already updated, it won't.

Oh, the irony!

The problem with using the registry hack method (which I used to use) is that when MSE does a program update, it sets the registry back to default and you have to set it up again.
