One caveat for prospective SAM purchasers.  I ran SAM for a while, as I, too,
liked the "Learn" feature.  [I didn't like the vagueness of its alerts as
opposed to GateKeeper, though]  Anyway, I use Quicken to manage my checking
accounts.  EVERY_TIME I launched Quicken, SAM would complain about an "attempt
to bypass the resource manager," no matter how many times I told SAM to learn
about this.  Apperently, whatever Quicken is doing, it does it differently
enough each time to make SAM think it's doing something new.  Oddly, GateKeeper
didn't complain at all, and neither does Disinfectant.
