Sentinel(tm) Feature Stirs Opinion

Some have questioned the merits, some the morality, of this feature of Sentinel(tm). This is definitely NOT a morality issue so we will just let that one go. As to the merits, as long as we can keep this thread as opinions and not attacks, let's toss it around a while.

This feature of Sentinel(tm) is optional and not only optional but you have control over just warning (1 popup) or many pop-ups. Also, it does not crash everyone's computer! The popups just make the user crazy and if they aren't able to stop them, their computer may run out of memory and freeze. OTOH, popup killers, and other manual methods can stop them too. This is not a program that gets launched, per se. In todays pc world, most have enough memory to just make this very annoying, which is the purpose.

Now, my opinion is that this is a war, plain and simple. Sites are being defaced and destroyed. We aren't attacking anyone. We are simply defending ourselves. Just like in a war, there are 'innocents' who get caught in the middle. It is inevitable. However, when it happens, we will continue to fine tune the code the best we can. This isn't going to affect any masses out there! A few will get false positives and see some craziness. And usually just an apology and an explanation will suffice. Please join the debate/discussion here in the forums!
