There are several techniques to hide malware from antivirus programs. One method is to use packers or crypters to obfuscate the malware code, making it difficult for antivirus programs to detect. Another technique involves using rootkit technology to hide the presence of malware within the operating system. Additionally, polymorphic or metamorphic malware can change its code structure and signature, evading detection by antivirus programs.
