Daemon Tools (styled DAEMON Tools by its creators) is a disk image emulator and optical disc authoring program forMicrosoft Windows. Daemon Tools was originally a furtherance in the development of another program, Generic SafeDisc emulator, and incorporated all of its features. The program claims to be able to defeat most copy protection schemes such asSafeDisc and SecuROM.[2] It is currently compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. DAEMON Tools has a special mode for proper operation of copies of discs with advanced protection (SafeDisc (C-Dilla), SecuRom and LaserLock, CDCOPS, StarForce and Protect CD), which are used on some discs with games.[3]
