Because this has no actual value for anyone and MS would (did?) ignore him.

Surely MS has bug bounty programs, no? Maybe I'm missing something.

You're missing the fact that there is basically no bug here.

All this does is:

* Store data in a database.

* Kill AV software provided you have admin privileges.

The latter might be remediated by MS down the line, but they don't generally give bounties.

Yeah, the AV thing was what gave me pause. The only thing I miss about Windows is ESET's Nod32. Best AV I've ever used. I know they have a Mac version now but I don't see the point in getting it.

Yes they do for credible threats. Otherwise there is the Windows Feedback Hub ;)
