[QUOTE="436880927, post: 828037"] It's a marketing stunt. Google only mind people injecting code when it isn't through Microsoft's "official" mechanisms, which inject code for AMSI and IOfficeAntiVirus. ;) It is never going to stop the main vendors. Google resorted to the dirty warning tactic to scare people because they know they have absolutely no idea how to actually prevent AVs from injecting code. Google are punching above their weight and they know it. Google Chrome runs with a CPL of 3. Google Chrome will never run with a CPL of 0 or -1 (guest CPL 0). You cannot block someone running at a higher privilege level at you, and enforcing anything to those running at the same privilege level as you is cat and mouse games. [/QUOTE]
