Worm sleeps to avoid detection | |
|

| Time: 11:53 EST/16:53 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

The latest mass-mailing worm, Atak, hides by going to sleep when it suspects that antivirus software is trying to detect it. Atak was first discovered Monday. Although antivirus companies do not expect it to cause much damage, they say it will be a nuisance because it can generate a large amount of spam. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for antivirus company Sophos, said authors of malicious software generally try to make the job of antivirus researchers as difficult as possible by adding confusing code and using evasion techniques. | ||
