I agree - Windows Defender is annoying over-zealous when it comes to blocking
programs it doesn't know. There should be a way to tell it to trust a certain
program permanently, rather than having to choose to run the program every
time Windows loads. This is immensely irritating. The same can be said of the
way 3rd party security firms are/were being locked out of the Windows kernel.

Microsoft is clearly erring on the side of caution with Vista, but frankly I
don't think they've got the balance right.
