For more info about user-defined resource file, see User-Defined Resource. The hash of the certificate that's used to sign the anti-malware service. The CertMgr. The algorithm value represents the algorithm of the certificate. These algorithm values are supported:. Remember to include the value of the algorithm as shown above and not the actual name of the algorithm.
For example, if the cert is based on the SHA algorithm, include 0xc in the resource section. In a case where there are multiple products and services from a single anti-malware vendor running on the same system, the anti-malware vendor can use the EKU property of the private CA certificate to differentiate one service from another.
For example, if there are two services running on the system from the same anti-malware vendor and signed by the same CA, the service that needs to be launched as protected can be signed with a cert issued by CA that contains a special EKU.
This EKU must be added to the resource section. The EKU is then registered by the system and paired with the certificate hash for validating and launching the service as protected. If the anti-malware service binary is signed with the Authenticode certificate as well as the private CA certificate, only the private CA certificate information must be added in the resource section.
The anti-malware service must be registered with the system before it can be started as protected. During the installation of the anti-malware software, the installer can install the ELAM driver and reboot the system to automatically register the service. The system will register the service at boot time by extracting the certificate information from the aforementioned resource file that is linked into the ELAM driver. During the installation phase, it is highly recommended that the system is restarted in order for the ELAM driver to get loaded and validate the state of the system.
However, for cases where a reboot must be avoided, Windows also exposes a mechanism for the anti-malware installer to register the service as protected using an API. The new security model also allows the anti-malware protected services to launch child processes as protected.
These child processes will run at the same protection level as the parent service and their binaries must be signed with the same certificate that has been registered via ELAM resource section.
After the anti-malware service is launched as protected, other non-protected processes and even admins aren't able to stop the service. In the case of updates to the service binaries, the anti-malware service needs to receive a callback from the installer to stop itself so that it can be serviced. After the service is stopped, the anti-malware installer can perform upgrades and then follow the steps described above in the Registering the service and Starting the service as protected sections to register the certificate and start the service as protected.
Note that the service should ensure that only trusted callers can stop the service. Allowing untrusted callers to do so defeats the purpose of protecting the service. When you uninstall a protected service, the service must mark itself as unprotected by calling the ChangeServiceConfig2 API. Note that because the system doesn't allow any non-protected process to alter the configuration of a protected service, the call to ChangeServiceConfig2 must be made by the protected service itself.
After the service has been reconfigured to run as unprotected, the uninstaller can simply take appropriate steps to remove the anti-malware software from the system. As part of the protected process security model, other non-protected processes aren't able to inject threads or write into the virtual memory of the protected process.
However a kernel debugger KD is allowed for debugging any anti-malware protected processes. Microsoft Defender Offline starts and immediately scans for malware.
Confirm that the Windows firewall is turned on. See Turn Microsoft Defender Firewall on or off for instructions on how to do that on modern versions of Windows. In the Search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall. In the left pane, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off you may be prompted to enter your administrator password.
Only download programs from sites that you trust. If you're not sure whether to trust a program that you want to download, enter the name of the program into your favorite search engine to see whether anyone else has reported that it contains spyware. Read all security warnings, license agreements, and privacy statements that are associated with any software that you download. Never click "Agree" or "OK" to close a window that you suspect might be spyware.
Be wary of popular "free" music and movie file-sharing programs, and make sure that you understand all the software packaged with those programs.
Use a standard user account instead of an administrator account. An administrator account can access anything on the system, and any malware run with an administrator account can use the administrator permissions to potentially infect or damage any files on the system.
