    "You are connected to the internet"
    then
    "You need to run this as Administrator"
    then
    "You are running an unsupported version of Windows". (8.1?!?!)

    Great tool. Not. Funny thing, this would be a great honeypot program to snatch up all of the paranoid people out there, then use it to INSTALL Govt. spyware on their machine. Like how my mortgage company put a button on their web page that said "Having trouble paying your mortgage?", when you clicked it, it redirected to an invalid page, but then a few weeks later they sold my mortgage to a high-risk firm despite me never missing a payment, and having 825 credit.. I clicked the button because I was nosy to see where it led, but I got snagged in their honeypot. (I refinanced within a year anyway, halving my interest AND pay off time)

    Windows 8.1 64bit is currently not supported because the tool appears to be unable to complete the execution and just goes on forever.

    Nah, I think it's a neat idea. It's just in early development at the moment.

    Detekt v1.8 takes less than 5min for a scan on my two systems. That's a big improvement considering the version released a week ago I tried took an hour for me (I believe it was 1.0). :thumb:

    When I ran v1.7 the other day, I got "Nothing Found". However, when I ran it the first time, it didn't generate the log as expected. It was a zero log. I did get a log the second time around when I ran the utility. Probably, because the first time I allowed it, when I got the Zemana Anti_Logger popup, but the second time, I blocked it.
