Sure,
The problem I had with Trend Micro Systems is that have a
'Preference Protection System' which locks down the Windows
Registry. My program used to use the Windows Registry to store its
preferences, now however it uses the preferences folder and creates
an XML file. This procedure is recommended by Trend as a safe way
to store preferences.
That sounds like they've made hundreds, if not thousands, of Windows
applications into viruses. The preferences for Windows applications
have long been saved in the app's Registry entry. Could it be that
you were trying to manipulate the Windows system settings rather than
your app's preferences?
It seems totally outrageous that they would lock down the Windows
Registry, but hey thats life.
Not outrageous, and not life. They shouldn't be doing that! Even
Microsoft's own apps save their preferences in the registry. The
MSDN notes also recommend and demonstrate how to accomplish this.
I wonder if their tool offers a way to "allow" trusted apps to get
around this "feature".
