Not only threatening Vista DRM and friends, it's also another step towards hardened and even more annoying malware. Normally, only specially signed processes made by special companies (decided by Microsoft) can be protected, but now the bad guys can protect any evil process they want, including the latest version of their own keylogger, spambot, or worm, as well as unprotect any 'good' one." http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/107345575/article.pl _______________________________-- I am beginning to believe that Vista will be the avenue that catapults malware writers way ahead of the rest of us. When you "wrestle" with a better opponent you gain strength and ability.
