 Same here. Devicecensus.exe is trying to access my webcam. Also, several other .exe's were added to my security suite's "Trusted Group" without my consent. Including "DismHost". I know that all of these are "essential" MS programs, I just don't trust MS.

I want to switch to Tails SO bad but I'm nervous about the process. It's too bad that Linux distros are superb feats of open-source wizardry yet, are far, FAR from being reasonable alternatives to Windows for the masses. If you DO get a good distro up and running, you're STILL likely to have all sorts of problems with hardware compatibility, etc. My kids need to hurry up and grow so they can handle all this for me. I'm too old for this crap (37). /rant
