I'm an idiot. I'm always forgetting to turn one or more features (CAV, CFP, D+, Sandbox) back on after I've disabled them! I really could use an X through the system tray icon when a feature is disabled. A timer (like Norton) would be a real gift. A timer with 5, 15, 30, 60 minute selections before automatically turning the feature back on would be really handy for dummies like me. Norton even has a setting for turning back on when the system reboots. I think CIS should be defaulted at this. That way, you would be protected after booting if you have forgotten to re-enable a feature. Please help out a dummy...

I like this idea.

Just yesterday I disabled the realtime AV as A Squared was running its scan. It was hours later before I realized it was still disabled.

How about a setting called "Reminder Alerts" - the user can designate when CIS provides a reminder indicating that certain critical functions are disabled. See pic.

That's not a bad idea. But a timer will work better if you're away from the computer.

Okay, so let's add a timer. Then the user can designate a reminder indicating that certain critical functions are disabled and/or the user can have the security levels automatically re-set after a specified  amount of time. see the pic.
