Hi.
Anti-Beacon v5.1.1
I'm wondering if will be possible to choose to block/unblock part of immunizer in future versions?
Why I'm asking? There is following one:
Operating System > Windows Web Search
which have 7/7 methods to block or permit.
User can block all of them or permit all.
While this immunizer is valuable, two of methods are desctructive.
When it blocks it adds two following registry entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
BingSearchEnabled = 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
BingSearchEnabled = 0
After Windows restart it doesn't allow to search anything within Windows start menu, which is really bad.
If you want to find an app by opening Windows start menu and type part of app name - it won't be possible at all.
But if you remove those two registry entries manually (BingSearchEnabled = 0) then searching within Windows start menu will work again.
Anti-Beacon shows block, but only 5/7, which is correct as long 5 of 7 methods of block are applied.
Unfortunately, untill you click Apply, and Anti-Beacon will add toxic BingSearchEnabled = 0 again.
The question is, will be planned to allow user to choose what exact methods will be used when user want to block or permit specified immunizer ?
Or maybe all multiple in one immunizer will be split, proividing separate ones like:
Windows Web Search 1, Windows Web Search 2, Windows Web Search Bing.... etc.
If not, can you exclude BingSearchEnabled = 0 from "Windows Web Search" immunizer ?
It makes Windows start menu almost not useable.
