· Added shell integration (for .exe & .msi files) for manual run & monitor
· In the event a setup is not detected or when the automatic detections is off, you are able to right click a setup (.exe or .msi) and install & monitor it, thus making sure that it will be removed safely.

· Improved the storage file system (disk-performance)
· By modifying the internal storage system and storage search algorithms, increased disk-performance is achieved.

· Increased efficiency of the monitoring system (less CPU usage)
· By improving the algorithms used, we make sure a false-positive ratio in the setup detection is kept to a bare minimum.
