My 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

My 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 16y agoNope, because Windows auto-starts the file named "autochk.exe"
- danbmil99 16y 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 16y 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.
