Any plans of a version that gives user option of monitoring continuously for new installations? (might be good for catching malware also)

You mean a Monitor that is always running and detects installations automatically?

Yes, similar to Comodo Program Manager ... I've seen it in a few other programs that monitor installations. CPM does it automatically but I would prefer for it to ask me if I want it to monitor the installation like "Installation detected ... would you like to monitor the installation? Y/N". Also it would be nice if the main program had an option to activate/deactivate this feature.

asaens, i can be mistaken, but IMO such monitoring could be too difficult task =it's not so easy to determine whether program is installing or just starting. yet, programs like Comodo use it's wast abilities over system observation as a whole, so that's much easier for them.

This feature is difficult to implement, but actually that's a good idea. It will be considered in future
