Vista Protected Processes Bypassed
Anonymous Hero writes "Security Researcher Alex Ionescu strikes again, this time with a proof of concept program that will arbitrarily enable and foremost disable the protection of so-called 'protected processes' in Windows Vista. 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."
fuck cmdrdildo. he's a fucking retard and a liar and is out of the times. how useless except for as a complete and total dildo.
Outside of being forced to use it at work, at home it brings nothing of VALUE.

Yes. Because everyday surfers everywhere are constantly picking up infectious shit off mainstream web sites such as Disney, CNN, Fox News (ok that one), Slashdot and Fark.
Whereas the collective observations of thousands of admins amounts to nothing because you are too uptight to admit you are surfing porn to us when it is obvious to everybody in the industry that infection and porn go together like cookies and cream.
Hello, we like good porn too, just realize you take a dumb risk when you do search for it, and shouldn't do it with a "critical" middle management laptop in any case.
The tool need Admin priveledges to work, and guess what you can do with that? Yes! Anything you like! The same goes for Linux too - oddly, with root access you too can do/inject/patch anything at all too.

I rather liken Vista to WinME. But every time I say so, someone chimes in saying Vista is the best thing Microsoft ever did or that Vista sales have set new records here or there or somewhere.
True, amazing and pretty recent.
I bet Microsoft has some whores lurking around, being paid for bulwarking criticism of Vista.
I don't even doubt that some users are satisfied with it, but they wouldn't usually sit around just waiting to 'share' their positive experiences with the Slashdot crowd. There are, on the other hand, Apple fanboys who do just that.
But MACs are good enough to create a followship, keen on being fanboyish in here. Vista isn't.
Did you notice that they aren't here today? :)

It is a Sunday. They're off to the great cathedral of Redmond, worshipping the Master of The Chairs.
Oh wait, there is an emergency poster around:
