[exelist] INT 41h detection



morning,

I just wanted to tell you all, that in future you should
not use the INT 41h/AX=004fh detection, to detect SoftIce
or other windows debuggers, cause it is possible to get
false alerts.

Today I found out, that some program (most probably INTEL vtune)
installed a VXD on my system, which is called VTBS.VXD
This VXD is responsible for time measurement. It hooks like any
debugger INT 41h and returns F386h if it is called. 
Means: All software detected a debugger in background on my system
although I booted without softice or other debuggers...

bye lorian
