Last I checked, you can set it so it only does it for installing new programs, which is down right essential. You have to think, antivirus programs can only go so far. The end user must watch out for themselves, because the viruses and what not those programs look out for are there 99% of the time because someone else was attacked, unless you protect yourself by watching what programs attempt to install themselves on your computer, you could be the next to contribute to the definitions of a security program. I am quite sure, you, nor anyone else, would want such a thing.
I just don't see how it could be useful to me. My firewall won't let anything access the internet without my permission. Plus it remembers what I allow.
And about the install thing, windows already has a prevention for that. "Run" or "Don't Run".
