dbminter Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 ImgBurn loads a driver on startup, according to ZoneAlarm. What is the name of that driver, I forget? And what does it do?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 There's no driver, just an exe. It calls 'loadlibrary' on several dll files in order to dynamically access various api functions (thus maintaining support for old OS's). Is that what you mean?
dbminter Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 I'm just going by memory, but ZoneAlarm, I think, said some .SYS file was trying to load as a driver. And I think it's file name did start with an l.
dbminter Posted October 23, 2016 Author Posted October 23, 2016 Well, ZoneAlarm seems to have forgotten a lot of things I told it to remember and has started asking again. So, ImgBurn was asked again. The "driver" is listed as WINDRVDIR\pci.sys
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 That's certainly not being loaded directly by me. It's probably just used by something Windows API related.
dbminter Posted October 23, 2016 Author Posted October 23, 2016 I did some digging. It seems pci.sys is part of SDK's for Windows applications. It's a common Windows system file and it does apparently have something to do with how software communicates with hardware.
