[Q] WM 6.5 Locking the Start Menu

Hello,
We have a mobile application that runs on Windows ce 4.2 for business use. On CE 4.2 there was the ability to lock the start menu and require and admin password to access it.
This allowed us to launch our app on startup, and the user wasn't able to access anything other then our app. If then the IT department had to make changes for config they would have full access to the mobile PC by using the password.
We have now moved to a new handheld pc deivce that is running on WM 6.5. And the lock startmenu dosn't appear to be part of the system. The lock seems to lock screen access all together, not just access to the OS features.
I've done some searchs and see that the start menu can be replaced completely. But havn't seen any that have a lock feature built into them.
Is their anything in the regitry to set? Or something we could change on the fly with in our application to enable/disable access to the startmenu?

[Q] How can antivirus apps work?

Hi tech-guys, developers,
i had a discussion with some other linux administrators if and how an android antivirus app is technically working.
As far as I understood the functionality of android apps, there is a sandbox for every app with its own user und homedir.
This means the antivirus app is also sandboxed and can access only public api or its own directory.
Scenario:
Open browser, goto hackallmyandroids.com (just an example)
On this page exists an exploit for webkit which executes some shellcode and writes a wiper-script to /usr/bin/badbinary (or equivalent directory)
How would the antivirus app be able to scan this file or even remove this file without superuser privileges?
Am I wrong or is no antivirus app useful?
Or did someone develop some security software for android and can explain how they work?
Pushing one time, because it can be a very important question.

Lock screen Programatically in Windows RT

Dear Team
I am developing an application for Windows RT device. I have a requirement to programmatically lock
the device screen. I tried to log off with a solution posted in this link
to open the "cmd" prompt, but the cmd prompt executes within the sandbox of winrt and hence "shutdown /l" failed to execute due to
access denied(5).It is mentioned in the forum to give "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" => FULL CONTROL. But in vain. Therefore I need solution either to lock the screen or open cmd prompt with required access.
with thanks

Is this for a Win32 application that is compiled for ARM, or for a Windows Store application?
Windows Store applications don't have access to those APIs, which means anything that you run, runs in the same sandbox, and also doesn't have access (as you've noticed).
The only way to work around I think is to provide a separate lock screen inside your application. But it of course depends a bit on how you want to use it. If the goal is just to lock access to info in the app, that will work fine, but if you really need to lock the entire device, then I don't know...

[APPLICATION SECURITY] Lock down on application on specific device?

Is there any way to lock down an application to a few handpicked devices and make the application just run on those devices? Without the user being able to share or extract the .apk file? I have full access to the so permissions will not be a concern and they all have SIM cards in them (5 devices). I'm developing the application myself but I don't know if there is a way that I can do that. Is there another software that might help with that? If there is a way then what happens if the user roots the phone? If I base installation on IMEI will they be able to change it?

get access to RAM dump, app data while app's running

how i can exctract RAM dump, or RAM contents, while apps are running, i have rooted phone, so i can perform whatever needed to accomplish this.
Specificaly, i want to surveillance app via RAM, to perform pentesting on security of my server.
I know, android, makes separate process for every app, but would like to know, how to access all, or specific app RAM data, with root (maybe via terminal, i don't know how this can be accomplished)
I have method in my app that contains hard coded server credentials (uses TCP/IP port, and SSL), method is obfuscated, and only way attacker would be able to get server credentials is exctracting RAM data while app is running. Because, android must put it in RAM before proceding to process it.
Is there any tool for this? i'm use linux, and familiar with command line, how to do this?
