App Review The trouble with Worms

[cruelsister]

Just another very brief Video illustrating the issues definition based Security solutions have when presented with an active Worm infestation. Here I specifically pick on Avira, HMP, and Malwarebyes; as the song was rather short I couldn't include Emsisoft Emergency Scanner, but I assure you it also lacked effectiveness.

Although it must seem that I obsessed with the trojans in the Local/Temp folder (and specifically scanned them), time constraints prohibited from examining the other wormy areas (in Roaming, a few Hidden folders, and Windows\pss). Emsisoft actually found and deleted the PSS folder, but the replicant functionality of the Worm duplicated it on reboot.

I still remember when I had a pen drive with Brontok worm and avast could not eliminate effectively. was just the avira he could. even deleting some important files for me...
...that worm resurrected always on my pen drive...

Scripts are one of biggest challenges for most AV.
