Yes, protection is still active. The main Process Guard program (procguard.exe) is essentially just a configuration and realtime-viewing program, but it doesn't provide the protection - the driver does. In the case of Close Message handling, another process (pg_msgprot.exe) will be active, but all other protections are handled by the driver. " }-



So the question is, or better as I understand that - that pg_msgprot.exe shouldn't run if Close Message handling is NOT enabled. Or it should run (as it is in my case, running all the time), but therefore providing no protection, so being uselles in a way at that time ??




Thanks for any reply !!

Hey, sorry for digging up an outdated thread, but it is sure better, than opening new one.


My further question would be - is it safe (and commonly used, or maybe even recommended, in cases like my particular situation is) to disable DiamondCS Process Guard Message Protection NT-service (in my Process Guard 1.300, Free version), if I DO NOT use Window Close Messages protection (I mean, it is disabled for my only protected process), so I suppose/hope, this doesn't affect the main and the most important procguard.sys core-kernel driver protection, or am I wrong ??

Process Path:
D:\Programs\ProcessGuard\pg_msgprot.exe

Description:
Used in Process Guard to monitor messages sent between windows



Thanks for any answer, stalker
