SPYWARE, SPAM & PHISHING
--Storm Virus Showcases Failure of Anti Virus Technology
(5 March 2007)
By using more than 54,000 slightly different variants, the storm worm
Trojan horse successfully used small changes to evade most anti virus
products. This is a technique now used by most current and relevant
malware. It demonstrates the futility of counting on anti virus
software for protection.
