I’m a WinDbg newbie (but I used to write Unix debuggers) and I’m playing
with the Driver Verifier to watch a couple of development drivers (I’m new
to driver development too, so please bare with me!).
The problem I have is that Norton AV is tripping up the Driver Verifier. But
at this stage, I couldn’t care less and so I’d like to disable NAV.
I know I could go into safe mode and then disable NAV, but the problem is
I’m working from home and using terminal services to my debugger. It’s not a
problem really - I can fix it tomorrow in the office. But the whole reason
I’m debugging this is as a learning experience, so if there’s a way I can
stop it loading from WinDbg, I want to know about it!
I searched the list and Ilko Dossev suggested a way to do just this for a
WDM driver (back in May 2000), but it doesn’t work for NAV (probably because
it’s a filter driver). But I’ve got the Initial Breakpoint enabled, so I can
get in before it loads (I’m debugging via a serial cable).
Suggestions greatly appreciated…
