[QUOTE="Tomoko, post: 1128158, member: 122954"] Hi, I have a few questions and I’d really appreciate some clarification: 1. About miners: If you keep the Task Manager open in the background for a long time, will a miner process be able to detect that it’s just running in the background and that nobody is actively checking it? 2. About antiviruses: How do antivirus databases work? How exactly do they detect malware — for example, do they compare the code to specific known malware signatures in the database? 3. About encryptors: How do they work, and what are the different types of data encryption? I’m asking all of this to better understand how these systems work in practice. Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
