Hi & Hacky New Year!

I think that it's a good idea (since it allready exists in my pocket ;p)
It's so easy to make a fake AV trayicon and some windows based on
screenshots.
For the AV guardian, you could do the same killav-cron job ;)

I would do my best to help

I had an idea earlier after reading Mubix's latest blog post on
killing AV. Sometimes when the AV dies it takes out the tray icon as
well, I know most people won't notice but some might, could we have an
app that contained all the different icons so when killav kicks in and
kills it it can fire up the app telling it to use the appropriate
icon, that way even an observant user won't notice.

This also got me thinking about the AV apps that restart themselves. I
know that some have a second process that watches to see if the main
one dies and if it spots it it respawns it. I don't know how the
guardian process checks but if it is by just checking for process
names then we could use the app that shows the tray icon to also have
the same process name, that way the guardian wouldn't know that the AV
had been killed and so would never restart it.

Does anyone think this is likely to help?

Robin
