AtomBombing - More good news for Windows 10

[Rockin Robbins]

Actually, Windows could merely encrypt the atom tables and use checksums to verify them. It would be impossible to inject anything into them. Those articles, while containing an element of truth, obscure more than they reveal.

And Skybird is right. System file check does nothing to prevent alteration from happening. It detects and corrects, much like antivirus or antimalware software does. We're generally happy with how the latter two categories of software work, why would we not be similarly protected by periodically doing an "sfc /scannow" to eliminate alteration of system files?

I saw Skybird's original post, and had typed a reply, but I went to resize my browser window, and instead closed it... I wasn't in a mood to retype it at that point...


Code injection can be useful... (Although I think these only do it in RAM.)

Fallout Script Extender (FOSE), and New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE)...

I use these when I run FO3 and FO:NV. Many of the mods made for these two games would NOT work without code injection.

I've seen many similar "patches" (actually a program that launches the games .exe itself) for games that warn that virus and malware scanners may report them as a virus...

So I don't know why those sites would say that AV software can't find it, when some people have posted on the various download sites that their AV software IS finding it.

Just a few thoughts.

EDIT: "Code Injection" may not be the correct term for what I'm thinking of...
