Sounds much harder than switching to Linux.

Good luck troubleshooting problems when an update of Windows breaks something.

Just switch to Linux and call it a day.

That's like saying "we can cover this switch on the wall that will blow up your house so you can't flip it." I would feel better if the switch wasn't even there. And now I'm wondering what other switches exist in my house that I don't know about. The trust has already been shattered and I'll never feel safe.

Thats great for people who don't want to, or can't switch to linux.

Those programs are even named like malware.

Jesus Christ, the need to use another opaque binary that has a non-zero chance of being hijacked to get rid of shit that should never be there sounds like the definition of insanity.
