I came across software running "Themida" protection what checks to see if you have a process monitoring agent like procman running.

The software then refuses to run if procman is watching it. I think its used for encrypted software looking to protect itself. Are there any good alternatives to Procman to watchdog apps ?

and none of the really popular ones (like Regmon, Filemon, Process Explorer, etc.)

Nice of Microsoft to remove the source code

Thanks for not pointing out the Microsoft has redacted the source code for these useful tools. We wouldn't want programmers to understand how the scare operating system works would we.

Very few of the utilities came with source code, and none of the really popular ones (like Regmon, Filemon, Process Explorer, etc.)

The source offered only a limited view into a handful of undocumented and unsupported APIs intended for use only within Windows itself. If you really want to know how Windows works, go get the book Mark Russinovich co-wrote with David Solomon, and which Microsoft published: Windows Internals, 4th Edition. 976 pages packed with far more info than you'd ever get from a few source code files.

Will they keep the Blue Screensaver?

I know there's a sense of humour in there somewhere! Please keep it on there!

Gordon, it's there:

That item got the most press (by far) when the tools were migrated to microsoft.com.

Yay for Sysinternals tools! :) They make troubleshooting "stuff" easy! BTW, I just came across your blog today, Aaron, and I really like it! Good overall topic for desktop administrators ...
