Title: Pair of PC viruses help each other survive
Post by: mhm on July 01, 2013, 12:53:38 PM
Two computer viruses that collaborate are proving hard to clean from infected PCs, Microsoft research suggests.

The pair of viruses foil removal by regularly downloading updated versions of their malware partner.

The novel versions are usually unknown to anti-virus programs which let the malicious programs persist.
