Well, you shouldn't start any malware processes while your ACLs are disabled, that much is obvious.

The driver is not intended to be always active, the idea is that you can attach it to the partition on which you want to have full access and when you are done doing whatever it is you wanted to do you detach it and the access restrictions are back in place.


Its a mater of Principle that the owner of a PC should be able to write to any location on disk if so desired.

The PC's belong to us, their respective owners, not to Microsoft.


BTW: a short update on the effects of this hack, creating files in protected locations works fine, what does not is renaming them or moving files into protected locations. I don't see a simple way to fix this.
And what I still don't understand is why creating of folders fails with the current approach.
