Removing injected code
-
There are methods of injecting code to a running application. But is there any method to remove such injected code without crashing the host application? For example, the SmileyCentral program MWSOEMON.EXE injects a toolbar into MSN messenger. If we kill this process, MSN messenger crashes. Is there a way to remove the toolbar and terminate MWSOEMON.EXE?

Depends on what technique you used to inject the code; whether you know at what points during the host's execution the injected code will be called. Difficult to predict such behaviour though! As far as I recollect, MWSOEMON is spyware. For removing the toolbar from MSN Msgr, I'm sure there must be a better way. Havent yet tried it, but I'm sure there must be! Bikram Singh
