Description

**Disguised virus** is the name of malicious software that can disguise its presence in the system as a real application. Attackers can create them in order to steal personal data or gain remote access to the victim computer. They are used by hackers to attack computers and steal information. They allow hackers to secretly gain access to a victim's Windows and macOS computer, as well as hack websites. These programs are embedded in a file with an extension that is a completely random combination of characters using several commands. Such a program is often embedded in the executable file of an antivirus program.

How do disguised viruses work?

Disguised malware are viruses or variations thereof. They differ from simple viruses only in the more complex cryptography they possess. Another difference is that they, as a rule, do not cause any harm to the normal operation of the PC. But they simply refuse to be detected by the “antivirium”, of course, provided that they were launched using a special command interpreter. In addition, thanks to such clever cryptography, they have the ability to load very quickly, that is, launch. For this very reason, outwardly such programs will not differ in any way from other modern programs. For example, Adobe Reader and many other popular programs have a similar architecture.

Often, when camouflaged viruses work on personal computers running the Windows operating system, such a large scope for attacks opens up in the future that attackers immediately exploit these opportunities without delay. Moreover, such a threat attacks
