    First a disclaimer: I don't know much about Process Guard because I can't use it on my W 98 SE system; if I would start using anywhere in the future another Windows-system, I certainly would use Process Guard.


    OK, here are some thoughts only for the paranoids :D

    1.
    If you use a "real-time" File-Integrity-Checker (like for example File Checker from Javacool) to watch for changes in certain files, let Process Guard protect File Checker so it cannot be terminated.

    2.
    Maybe let File Checker watch important files of Process Guard.

    3.
    If you use an on-demand File-Integrity-Checker (like for example the CRC32-test in TDS-3, NISFileCheck, or Adinf32), let File Checker from Javacool watch the important files of that on-demand File-Integrity-Checker.

    4.
    If you use a "real-time" Registry-Integrity-Checker (like for example RegProt from DiamondCS or RegRun from Greatis), let Process Guard protect that Registry-Integrity-Checker.

    5.
    If you use a Registry-Integrity-Checker and a File-Integrity-Checker, all the above, and let the File-Integrity-Checker watch the important files of the Registry-Integrity-Checker.


    As I said: I am in no way an expert on Process Guard, and it's just for the paranoids between us :D

    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you.
    And by the the way rooster came first. ;-)

    heh, reminds me of a saying I came across a long time ago. Along the same lines as mglenn.

    Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you, besides, you're not paranoid, everyone just thinks you are.

    :eek: That is pretty funny Rod :eek: :)

    A healthy dose of paranoia is always good when dealing with computers, it also seems computing attracts people who have tendencies for paranoia, but that is another discussion.

    PG will have checksumming in the next version, of any process which gets run.

    ~grin~ :D

    Save those checksums secure Jason ;)
    Rod and Wayne might remember a very old discussion at the private board ;) ;)

    Cheers, Jan.

    Since the file won't be able to be read or modified I don't think it is an issue Jan. :)

    I have read it several times that next PG will have checksums. May I have more details here? Will PG only check the checksum of the executable file itself or the loaded dlls too?

    regards,
