 |
|
I have a Delphi application, written in D5, that uses createprocess() to
call a Dos program.
The app has been running fine until the client installed a spyware program
called Spy sweeper.
Now the Createprocess() call fails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joe

you're one of the good guys and should be allowed to issue CreateProcess).
Or you have to whitelist the DOS program.

how do I get my software on a whitelist?

Spy Sweeper does two thing--checks your computer for sypware when you ask it
to run a sweep and (if you leave Spy Sweeper running all the time) be on the
alert for changes to the host file, IE Home page hijackings, threats running
in memory, "unwanted" programs installing themselves on your system, etc.
It is this second type of surveillance that is causing your problem. I see
no way for you to declare a particular program safe in Spy Sweeper's
options. It appears that you can either try to adjust the shield's settings
or simply not have Spy Sweeper running while your program runs.

You should try and write to Webroot about the SpySweeper problem, they
should be able to help you - SpySweeper itself is written in Delphi.
