Now that most of our new computers are multi-cored and capable of running processes in parallel, it appears, unfortunately that most of our software has not taken advance of this new capability or do most programmers even know how to. Here in lies the danger. Our best virus protection software is just designed for single core processes. A company has pointed out the weakness to our situation and how to take advantage of it. It works like the old bait and switch routine. While the current protection software is busy validating some innocuous file or software the malware is busy pushing a zombie through via a parallel process. Very slick: http://www.matousec.com/info/articles/khobe-8.0-earthquake-for-windows-deskt op-security-software.php Now that the knowledge of how to build unstoppable malware is out there how long do we have to wait until our protection software is ready to stop the inevitable flood?
