Re: Unpack Files to memory and then run them (exe protector style)

Hi,

My app doesn't exactly encrypt applications, I mean this is not it's
main purpose. It was initially designed as a file binder so that I
could add the dlls of apps to the executable so that my apps whould be
more compact and would only have 1 file (the main exe). The ideea soon
evolved by adding tons of options, compression and other. More and more
users of my app are now requiring more protection of their files so I
cannot just go and tell them it's all in vain all can be cracked
eventually even if I am prefectly aware of that. The ideea is to make
it more difficult to crack.
So that is why I am asking for a way to avoid unpacking the orig files
to the hard disk whre they are more vulnerable. I am not asking for a
revolutionary ne protection system, just a way to avoid unpacking to
hard disk and protecting original files.
To see what I am talking about visit www.nemokprod.go.ro/nb.htm

Thanks.
