[QUOTE="ted114, post: 814910, member: 75422"] "You do not need kernel-modules" you mean, AVs(in general, if not all) just use user-mode (dll-injection) + hooking (to all processes) to know and analyze what APIs (and thus, analyze how the program interacts with the system) ?? I see, so AVs just use kernel modules to protect itself from being attacked by malwares or send some notification to some of it's user mode processes (like, when a process is created). Thanks.
