This is great tool! Would it be possible to add GGUF to your tool? It may be a little tricky format to parse but GGUF format already seen few attack vectors and I consider it untrustworthy. Been able to snan GGUF files would be great!

You missed the point: "When you turn on your PC and notice that there’s a huge Christmas banner on your desktop, do not panic – your device is not compromised.

The Christmas banner can also pop up when you’re playing games. In some cases, the banner crashes apps."

This thingy lunches randomly when you use your PC, and can crash your app. This would be fine if they added it as extra entry in programs menu but this thingy lunches itself when it "thinks" it is good idea. This works like clasical crypto malware. I am not supprised people are terified seen this happen.

I fully agree. I would also add that sending info which app you have just started and what are you use paterns when you use an app to the company you install software from withought your consent (which should be a choice, not requirement to run an app) is spying and works like malware that observes all the time what you do!

And look what happens when you have for example personalDNSfilter on Android or Free Firewall by Evorim on Windows. What a fun to see all this! BTW, remember to block Free Firewall from NET access also. ;P

However with this "brilant idea" ASUS went beyond all others!
