Doing revocation checks on every executable whenever it's launched would introduce non-trivial latency with starting applications and a _lot_ of load on revocat

Doing revocation checks on every executable whenever it's launched would introduce non-trivial latency with starting applications and a _lot_ of load on revocation servers. It probably wouldn't be feasible.
And yes, AVs stop adware ("potentially unwanted programs") unless you tell them not to.
- epistasis 10y agoNot sure why you'd check revocation servers on every launch... Check when launched the first time, and then the system checks for new revocations periodically; let's say as frequently as AV software checks for definition updates. As for adware, if AV can stop it, code-signing methods can do it more efficiently and cheaper.
