How can malware be hidden from antivirus software?

### REPLY:
There are several techniques that can be used to hide malware from antivirus software. One method is to use polymorphic or metamorphic techniques, which change the structure or behavior of the malware to evade detection. Another approach is to use rootkits or stealth techniques to hide the presence of the malware in the system. Additionally, malware developers can use packers or crypters to encrypt the malicious code, making it harder for antivirus software to detect.
