Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
People are mostly frustrated when they get kicked because of a non-allowed-program-running (like VF#33 Server blocks cFosSpeed / LAN manager NetLimit)

Describe the solution you'd like
Most of the people already know what program causes it and they're able to close it, but when someone who doesn't comes and asks what the issue is, we have to ask for an MTA Diag log and hand-pick the program causing it. It would be nice if MTA could log the exact process name & process install location to its report.log. Maybe it could also show what process is causing the issue to the end-user as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. MTA Client could offer to terminate these processes and wait for user input to allow or disallow it
  2. A more detailed error output could be used with instructions on how to end the process. I don't think this is possible considering how small the error popup window is.
  3. More clear wording could be used in the error message. This user got 3 program names (cFosSpeed, LAN manager and NetLimiter) but it was only MSI_Gaming_Lan_Manager.exe

case about this guy: he probably had a virus and it has installed a iqvw64e.sys on his system. when you Google what iqvw64e.sys is, you get this result: https://www.file.net/process/iqvw64e.sys.html
guy not only had this program installed, he also didn't have anything related to this program in its system32 folder. turns out, this file was located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp. I had to contact Dutchman to help me figure out where it was installed. I doubt if any end-user knows this file path exists.
There were 3 others that asked for help about this file, if we had its location reported in report.log or somewhere else, I wouldn't have had to disturb Dutchman about it and could've just solved the issue myself.
