How can malware be hidden from antivirus software?
Malware can be hidden from antivirus software using various techniques such as code obfuscation, polymorphism, encryption, and rootkit installation. These techniques can make it difficult for antivirus programs to detect and identify the malicious code.
One way to hide malware from antivirus software is by exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are unknown to antivirus programs, giving the malware an advantage. Another method is to use anti-emulation techniques that can detect when the malware is being analyzed in a virtual environment and modify its behavior to avoid detection.
