How can malware evade detection by antivirus software?

### REPLY:
One way malware can evade detection is by exploiting vulnerabilities in the antivirus software itself. By exploiting these vulnerabilities, the malware can disable or bypass the antivirus software altogether. Another technique is to use packers or crypters that encrypt the malware code, making it difficult for antivirus scanners to analyze and detect. Some malware may also use techniques like hooking or DLL injection to intercept and manipulate antivirus software's behavior, allowing it to remain undetected.
