Detecting Daemon Tools

[dyn!o]

I would suggest to leave the idea of window/class names.

In my humble opinion the best way is to detect Daemon Tools by its MINI-PORT driver and BUS driver. If you will use window/class names then it takes fer seconds to change them and you will fail. If you will use generic like methods (drivers scanning) then you always are able to detect it. Of course do not try to detect them (drivers) by name but properties.

Look at StarForce, it detects fake CD/DVD mediums by scanning low level system drive types (SCSI, etc.). Professional developers (Alcohol, CloneCD, Daemon Tools) have serious problems with this kind of check and cannot defeat it without cosmic tricks like unplugging IDE cables (what a silly idea).

Learn from the best (not me (hehe) but them).

Good luck.
