' What does this code?
' It will check if SoftICE from NuMega is loaded into memory!
'
' But what is SoftICE?
' SoftICE is a low-level Debugger for Windows(TM).
'
' Who needs this code?
' Everybody who want to distribute his VB-app as shareware!
'
' Why?
' SoftICE is also used by crackers who don't want to pay for your software!
' So they use the Debugger to register your software without paying!
'
' How could i protect my software?
' Just check if SoftICE is loaded with my function. If true close the app.
'
'
' Please send me a E-mail when you use this routine in your app
