Checkice is a program that checks that the softice drivers are hidden or not. It does this by trying to verify if the softice drivers are in the WINDOWSSYSTEM32DRIVERS directory. Checkice checks the three Softice drivers (SIWVID.SYS, SIWSYM.SYS & NTICE.SYS) and than reports if checkice has found them or not. Many anti-Meltice tricks try to hide these drivers and you can use Checkice to see if the program has hidden them.
