Default Re: Virus Detection

One way some people get around virus definitions and stuff like that is to write a mutating program, which basically "evolves" so much that it's unrecognizeable across generations. Extremely hard to write, but even more difficult to stop, because there's so many versions.

Even if you aren't interested in that sort of thing, I suggest you look up self-modifying programs on Google; it's pretty interesting.
