- Makes sure a few security-hazardous packages are not installed.
- Checks for a packet sniffer.
- Removes unneeded packages from the local package archive.

- Checks to see if apt is fetching unnecessary information when checking for software updates.

- Checks to make sure the user isnt logged into the system (GUI) as root.

Enhancements:
- proshield (3.7.47) unstable;
