There are many ways to disable WFP. Among them is setting the Registry value SFCDisable found at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon' to 2, patching sfc.dll.

  • param1: Always set to 0
  • param2: The full path of the file to modify later
  • param3: Always set to -1
