[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1049663, member: 92939"] NEVER rely on an antivirus solution! If Kaspersky and Harmony fail and Norton succeeds, will you install Norton? Ditto if F-Secure succeeds? You've got to stop believing that antivirus solutions are superheroes who will protect you from everything. They're not... For a RAT, you already need to know whether the code is known. Some AVs like Eset or Kaspersky decompile the code. If they see a known piece of code, it will be blocked. For Kaspersky, if the RAT tries to touch the system, it will also be blocked. And if it gets past Kaspersky, the server's ip address or url must not be known.... Once again, most antivirus programs can protect you from it, some will do better, but if you don't download files like "FortniteVbuksFreeCracked.exe" or "MyDogIsBeautiful.jpg.jar" you risk nothing.
