wouldn't it be possible for varant to scan the programs currently running in memory?
ARGH! I had a nice long response to this, and then the website stopped responding so I lost it before it was posted! So I'm going to be briefer this time (maybe it was a good thing SF ate the post
)
Short answer -- yes, they can detect it if they want to. Then, EQW could do things to hide itself, then Verant could adapt, and so on, just like the virus wars (Norton makes anti-virus software, NortonBackRoom, uh, I mean Evil Hacker Terrorists from Afganistan* make new viruses, Norton improves anti-virus software, EHTs improve viruses, etc.)
But will Verant waste time with something like that? Probably not. It would take time (and Verant's money) to combat EQW, and it would be a loosing battle (think RIAA vs. MP3). If Verant isn't smart enough to figure that out, then I guess we'll be annoyed by constant upgrades (think AOL vs. AIM compatible programs like
Trillian).
* yes, that was a joke about how it's good business for Norton to make viruses that it can cure -- I'm pretty sure they're not actually doing that
