Sorry, but I want to be able to run the CHKDSK tool. No matter how "technical" the company is and how respectful is their CTO.
Their software kills the standard "autochk.exe" file, making it impossible to fix basic disk errors.
- danbmil99 15y agoMy black-hat days are behind me, but isn't it SOP to copy a version of the uncorrupted file under another name, and run it when you're done with your cruftiness? Or incorporate the old code into the .exe along with your insertion?
- jitbit 15y agoNope, because Windows auto-starts the file named "autochk.exe"
- danbmil99 15y agoright -- so a proper black hat would make autochk.exe do its bad stuff and then go ahead and do a proper checkdisk, so the user doesn't notice anything amiss.
- jitbit 15y agoOh, you mean - the Absolute Software guys should have done that? Yes, totally, I'm with you! I thought you were suggesting a solution for me - a laptop user who's not able to run checkdisk.
