Anti virus scanners that scan software are one thing, but what about virus'
that are flashed into the soft memory or other micro chips within a computer
and hibernate there and execute at any time when the system is rebooted?
Antiviral programs and malware removal programs only scan the physical hard
drive and sometimes (if you have a good malware remol tool) deep scan the
RAM memory for malicious software. What happens when other memory modules
become infected and launch at system startup?
Something to ponder for the holidays...
And you actually have examples of these that are out in the wild?
