Full Armor

Version: Full Armor Network Configurator and Full Armor Zero Administration
Operating System: Win95/NT

This is an alert for Full Armor made by Micah Software and rated very high
in PC Week.  While being a part of a team that was to install and
standardize all the desktops throughout a company this hack was
discovered.  The software itself is a desktop protection software that has
many many more options than the regular poledit that comes with Win95,
although it does utilize and expand on the poledit program.  The
problem/hack comes into play when you get the Full Armor warning that you
don't have rights (or any other Full Armor dialog box) if instead of just
clicking the ok button to remove the dialog box, instead you choose <ctrl>
+ <alt> + <del> to get to the task manager you can end task on Full Armor
and remove all the protected areas, thus having full access to everything
on your destop/PC.

The has been tested on both 486 and Pentium machine's all running Win95
and the hack is reproduced everytime. There is no current work around for
this hack.

I have been in contact with the software developer's at Micah and they are
currently re-working the code that should have a fix for this by tomorrow
morning (6-9-10).  If you are running Full Armor it is recommended that
you get this fix when it becomes available.
