Maybe they could've checked only for files coming out of C:\Windows, and some from the "Common Files" of "Program Files" or "Program files (x86)"
I came to appreciate Linux/Mac OSX/FreeBSD style of putting everything in place - /bin/ /usr/sbin/, etc.
With Windows it's just folders everywhere :)
For example the German version of Windows might have C:\Program Files named differently
- cgranade 17y agoThere is a notion of special directories under Windows, so you can request the Program Files directory without knowing even what drive it would be on. I do realize that a path-based whitelisting approach would introduce unwanted limitations, but considering the cost of false positives, it may be warranted to accept such limitations.
