bvw Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 So this AV is protecting against the above threats! The others have to catch upI guess they have to start looking at other things now that Microsoft are in the Anti-Virus business.What's going to happen when, in a couple of years, M$ anti-virus might be included with the Operating System?

Redhat Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 It will be useless - because if it's installed with the O/S, most people with a computer are going to be running it, correct? To evade a particular antivirus, its as simple as grabbing a hex editor, and changing something in the area that scanner looks at. If its the first 16 bytes, get the hex, change "Program Cannot Be Run In Dos" to pROGRAM Cannot Be Run In DOS" and bob's your uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
