(It is often easier to restore to/from fast storage to a recent image backup than to spend 5 -10 hours of 20 different malware tools trying to track down an infection...)

My own experience is that SecureAPlus blocks first, asks questions later....if you then allow it to occur, it's on the user at that point...
