The “IFS Code” referred to in the EULA refers to the binary files that
you generate. Since you are not including ntifs.h directly in your
binary files, I don’t believe it is an issue.

So can you please interpret what the “IFS Code” refers to in the IFS Kit
EULA? Is this only source and object code or does it include the ntifs.h
header file?

Microsoft only offers WHQL certification for antivirus filter drivers.
For other classes of filter drivers, there is no such certification
program.

At the last plugfest I thought they told us that they didn’t even offer
WHQL certification for filter drivers.
Now I’m confused.
Can someone from MS please clear this up?
Thanks,
