Re: Notepad thoughts.

Lets use your concept, and lets use the unofficial .wmf exploit patch as well.

Once your program gets in memory, since Notepad uses User32.dll the unofficial patch will inject itself into your program context, even that it came from a CD.

So nothing it really safe, once it gets into memory to execute, because it can be modified after the fact.

Hope this makes sense.

 So it goes from the cd to Memory, where it is no longer safe.

I think the point is.
Malware is a product that decides what can be dropped from the infected program.
So, Admin should have a greater power than this, and have the tool to decide what gets dropped, not some mistakenly executed .exe malware program.
