Due to updates in driver signing requirements introduced after Windows 10, drivers must now be signed using an EV Code Signing Certificate and a SHA-256 checksum. As a result, the DefensX Agent's kernel driver mode cannot be enabled on Windows 7 devices. Instead, the agent automatically switches to the legacy model, which modifies the DNS servers directly on network interfaces.

While this change does not impact the functionality of the DefensX Agent on Windows 7, the operating system still displays a warning message when the driver is extracted to the filesystem.

Although this warning does not affect the agent's performance or capabilities, it would enhance the user experience if we could prevent the warning from being displayed altogether.
