aleph01 15 Posted June 7, 2011 I'm trying to copy a dummy file to thwart Cemgar malware. The dummy file has NTFS Deny permissions and won't copy using FileCopy. Is there a way to do this? Alternately, is there a way to apply NTFS file permissions after the file is copied to destination? Meds. They're not just for breakfast anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Drache 260 Posted June 7, 2011 Oh, are you trying to set the mutex so the virus doesn't ever run? Lofting the cyberwinds on teknoleather wings, I am...The Blue Drache Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ripdad 100 Posted June 7, 2011 Maybe try this ... Instead of dummy files, just create 2 folders in the Windows\system32 directory and set them read-only. folder 1 = obdwk.sys folder 2 = odbcmr32.dll It won't be able to install those files because of the 2 folders with the same names. This might be a little cheesy - but hey, it works 99% of the time! "The mediocre teacher tells. The Good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.

aleph01 15 Posted June 7, 2011 Thank you both for your help. I'm not sure what a mutex is, but I'll look it up. I like the idea of creating folders. I didn't think of that. I'll give it a try when I get a chance - I've been pulled assigned a project for now. Thanks again! Meds. They're not just for breakfast anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
