To ID Executor to Programs or Not
It seems to me that if a programmer really has his/her heart set at stopping
Executor from running their program, they can easily do so. I am not sure
that the ROM trick mentioned in a prior post will work or not given programs
like MAE and platforms like PREP.
With all due respect, it seems to me that Executor will have to sell a great
deal more copies before it needs to worry about Apple (the most likely
company to write an Anti-Executor routine in their program). If such a
routine crops up, the user will then have to make the decision of whether
the routine is there for a good reason, or a malicious one (viruses
excepted). If this becomes a problem, a patch would seem pretty easy.
Conversely, it seems like the ability for a program to identify Executor
might offer the companies an easy way to implement simple work arounds where
necessary.
