Hi Rick. Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, the search result did not provide any useful information about PatchGuard API. I will read the information provided by the search result again to make sure I did not miss any important information. Is there a more direct or easier way to get information about PatchGuard API? TIA for any additional help.

After doing some more searching, I believe that "PatchGuard API" is a misnomer. About 4 years ago, work has started to provide ISVs with perhaps a set of APIs for writing security software working along side with PatchGuard, as can be seen here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/windowsvista/fathi.mspx Does anyone clearly know the final results stemming from the aforementioned work? I am interested in any results that are applicable to Windows 7 x64 systems.
