Daily Term: Stealth Technology
Often used in addition to polymorphic techniques to enable a virus to hide within a computer’s OS (operating system) and remain undetected by antivirus software. By intercepting routines used by an OS to find infected files and documents, the stealth virus then inserts some of its code into uninfected data, tricking the computer into recognizing the file as the original, unmodified version.
