The CHECK_VIRTUAL_PC macro allows you to check if your application is running under VMWare/VirtualPC.
NOTE: The current version of SecureEgine® does not support this macro for .NET languages or Visual Basic applications.
The CHECK_VIRTUAL_PC macro can be called from inside other macros.
The CHECK_VIRTUAL_PC macro has a special syntax:
CHECK_VIRTUAL_PC (user_variable, user_value)
Where "user_variable" is any local or global variable in the application and "user_value" is any immediate value (constant value). The way that it works is the following:
•The CHECK_VIRTUAL_PC macro is called.
•SecureEngine takes control of the processor and make special checks to know if your application is running under VMWare/VirtualPC.
•If your application is not running under VMWare/VirtualPC, SecureEngine sets "user_variable" equal to "user_value".
•If the application is running under VMWare/VirtualPC, SecureEngine does not set "user_variable". You should take care of initializing "user_variable" to something else from "user_value".
•SecureEngine returns control to the protected application. The protected application should check the value of "user_variable" and execute the desired action if the application is running under VMWare/VirtualPC.
