How can malware evade detection by antivirus software?

### REPLY:
One way to evade detection by antivirus software is to use a packer or crypter tool to encrypt the malware code, making it difficult for antivirus scanners to detect the malicious payload. Another method is to use process hollowing, where the malware injects its code into a legitimate process, making it appear as part of a trusted application and bypassing antivirus detection. Additionally, malware can use anti-emulation techniques to detect if it is running in a virtual environment, which is often used by antivirus software for analysis, and modify its behavior to avoid detection.
