Re: .NET Framework Rootkits
i agree with you, netfixer.. i hate having "NETFramework" installed, but my ati (video card) driver-package requires it..
as far as i know, hewlett-packard "printer" driver-packages also require "NETFramework".. |

i am not that familiar with working with "hewlett-packard" drivers, so i don't know if you can work around not having "NETFramework", with them, or not.. in my experience with installing the regular HP driver-packages, which is the only ones that i have used, NETFramework is installed as part of the installation-process, when the drivers are being installed.. |

Fortunately for me, the ATI video cards and HP printers in use on my Windows 2k & XP systems work just fine using the builtin O/S drivers (the same applies for my Linux systems), so no .NET crap was required on my Windows systems. I did try the ATI supplied RADEON package on one PC, but the overhead and security risks of the .NET crap made me remove it after a brief test. I saw no benefit to me for using the bloated ATI package.

If in the printer package you have a folder with *.INI file along with set of other files (usually with *.dl_ extensions) you may install the driver directly. In this case you do not have to run any "setup" program from the package (and it will not install any .NET). That's the way I install my drivers. |

I have avoided .NET completely. |

The HP AIO printer I use (1200 series, which is an older one) has no reliance upon .NET Framework. |
