Yes, that was my point, nothing should modify without explict permission, not the normal logic of today of, if it got past my AV then anything it wants to do is OK. The SCT also has a canned set of restrictions, where VMWare does not, and VMware was never designed for securing single systems, lol.

So define the problem, is it "I don't want ANYTHING modifying ANYTHING I don't want modified, or is it "I know there is no functional working example of AI but I am brave enough to use this A/V to protect my systems"?
You know, VMware has a 'snapshot' feature... ...but, as anyone who has done too much fiddling with disk imagers knows, it's not "Nothing should modify my hard drive", it's "Nothing should modify my hard drive but security patches, software updates, me when I save documents, me when I change settings..."
