When the Alcohol crew implemented the ability to name the SCSI device anything a user wanted, that defeated a lot of blacklists. Now the protection manufaturers, since they can't determine what the virtual device driver name is going to be, have resorted to looking at other avenues of blacklisting Alcohol. One thought that occured to me was that perhaps they are looking for the Alcohol process in the list of open tasks on any given system. If this is the case, would it be possible to allow the user upon installation of the app to choose the name of the process. Thus when you perform a CTRL ALT DEL and look at open processes, what would show up would be whatever name you chose instead of "Alcohol". I may be totally off base but seemed like a possible fix if this is actually how they are determining whether Alcohol is on the system or not. If you are allowed to rename the process on the front end, it would only stand to reason that all the registry entries would reflect this as well so both fronts would be covered. Just a thought.

Blacklists are usually not so simple, in fact even if you close Alcohol gui (you will not see any Alcohol process running however Alcohol driver is still runing) you will notice that blacklists remain. Don't worry our development team will find a way to fix the known blacklists on future versions as usual.

No doubt.

As I said, just thinking out loud. Usually shows how little I know.
