[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1086086, member: 7463"] No, they probably won't detect anything amiss for 2 main reasons- such a delay in execution of a given file is done legitimately all the time, often directly utilizing legitimate Windows binaries (kinda-sorta). Thus a detection of this will restrict the normal functioning of Windows. Second, weaving in a delay is a very minor (and non-malicious) part of coding a malware file, so any detection by security software would be concentrated elsewhere (the nasty parts of the file)..
