You'd think exceptions would be made. . .

Not really - I'd think they'd get their ass in gear and get the investigation done before the statue of limitations is up. But I also know that they don't really care, so, meh.

Fun update:

I looks like Windows Defender is now flagging the MicTray process.

Only after HP released a fix for it.

Well playing catchup is better than playing "don't care"

I'm going to see if my HP Support Assistant will patch it, and then I'll see if Defender flags it again.

And there are no patches available for my system. Thanks Obama.

@scottalanmiller I've never heard them recommend antivirus products though, it's mostly just things that parents can do to protect their kids while online.

That's a little better. Same issue, lower threshold.

Unfortunately there have been a lot of pervs in the area over the past few years, and their numbers are growing. Parents get scared, some do their own research, some don't. That's why the PD gets involved and tries to remind people to be parents and try to watch for these things, and become educated.
