I got message "File may contain overlays!
Do you want to continue anyway?" What does this means?
PC Guard for Win32 can handle executable files with or without internal overlays.
The warning message is for security reasons. For example, if you are trying to protect
application with debug information attached to it you will be warned (it's not too
good to distribute debug version of your application). On the other hand, some executable
files are checking the structure of internal overlay so it is good to warn user
that he is going to protect application which contains internal overlay. In general,
if you get above warning message and you are not sure what you should do, contact
us with detailed information about application you are trying to protect.
Can you explain more about "Remove overlay
from executable file" option? When shall we enable it?
If this option is set, internal overlay will be removed from application file. Overlay
may contain any data but usually contains debug information which should be removed
after protection. Some files will not work if internal overlay is removed as it
contains information which is crucial for application. Most files are without internal
overlay, though.
Does PC Guard for Win32 still encrypts protected
application with password string, in case we enable "Use password string for
file encryption" and enter "password string" but disable "Password
Protection"?
No. This option is valid for password protection only.
