Nothing special, who does not like a popup message when booting Windows  :)

In general, the default settings are OK.

I like my popups ;D

I also like MCS to show me the log and to give me the opportunity to decide if I want to remove what it has found. This is one feature Ky331 and I asked for and MCShield added it so gratefully.

Thanks, nice additions to GUI
On my installation there is a 'mis-alinement' as the last few letters on the right side of each TAB (all the way down) when viewed are missing.
You probably are already aware.  ;)

Thank you both for these kind words.  ;)



@schmidthouse
I'm afraid I did not understand you the best. Can you tell me which OS you are using (Win8.1Pro 64Bit? ) and can you please post the ScreenShot of MCS-Control Center?

Here you go. Look at the end of every option and you can see the last letters missing. :)
Another to come.

I see, thanks for SS.

Please just tell me the screen resolution so I can check what may be the problem.

I can confirm the same issue as Schmidthouse on my Win7x64 Pro SP1 system (1600x900 resolution).
In fact, on the Status Screen, I can't see the 3rd line (MCS Cloud) at all!

Ironically, the display is just fine on my 32-bit WinXP Pro SP3 system!
Lenovo T530 laptop, Intel Core i5-3320M @ 2.60 GHz, 8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro SP1 (64-bit), avast! 17 Free, MBAM3 Pro, Windows Firewall, MVPS HOSTS file, OpenDNS Family Shield, Zemana AntiLogger Free, SpywareBlaster, IE11 & Firefox [both using WOT (IE set to WARN, FF set to BLOCK)], WinPatrol PLUS, uBlock Origin, MBAE, MCShield, CryptoPrevent, SAS (on-demand scanner). 
[I believe computer-users who sandbox (Sandboxie) are acting prudently.]
