Browser Exploiters
Recently, my family's Windows computers have begun to be plagued by unwanted browser add- ins which install themselves as a search engine and generate obtrusive, annoying results to searches. Antivirus programs currently do a poor job of blocking these because they don't invade the OS, just the browsers. Running a scan often finds them, but using the quarantine / delete feature of the anti-malware program usually misses some pieces of these pests, the most notorious of which seems to be "Conduit."
I mention this because it would seem to be a market opportunity. The big players in the anti-malware business seem to have dropped the ball on this issue. MalwareBytes has a Beta product out called "anti-exploit," but this has been pretty ineffective, at least in my experience.
Maybe your team could look into developing a better solution?

OK. I've passed this on to our developers and they may look into it!
