Hi@
How would you describe WSA's whole-system anti-logging capabilities as compared to a protect that doesn't focus on browsers specifically?
There haven't been any limitations we've encountered. The only relevant difference would be any 64bit platform having PatchGuard which blocks certain types of kernel changes, but this isn't unique to Win8. The primary AV-relevant change in Win8 is the fact that Microsoft are now requiring any firewall developer to use the built-in firewall APIs.@ wrote:
@ Thank you! Also while your here I have a burning question I've never been able to figure out:
Can you describe the changes in Windows 8/8.1 that have reduced the ability for keyloggers and other scrapers to function correctly, while also limiting the ability of protection products to hook in as deeply to protect it? This a claim from a competitor as to why their product features are not as extensive on Win8.
