[QUOTE="509322, post: 694536"] I know. If we start blocking drivers, then users will start screaming bloody murder. Right ? Right away, they will be the ones who will say such attacks are so low on the probability scale that they will accept the risk in favor of usability - in other words, they don't want the increased inconvenience in favor of increased protection against some extremely unlikely attack. Somebody on the forums will say those users are out of their minds - put the protection in place and make it an opt-out protection. It depends upon how the malicious driver is installed. There are various means for existing firmware. Most methods are going to be by social engineering using a .exe - which AppGuard is going to block. I mean think about it - how is a blackhat going to attract a user to a site to get them to download a malicious firmware update for their GPU card ? We're already dealing with the visual to begin with - graphics, probably a gamer, video issuses, etc. All of my answers in this thread focus around that single, specific scenario - and no other.
