This scares me, I mean really scares me. How can the people designing our AV software not understand that unknown malware is their biggest problem? Surely someone has explained the problems of 'enumerating badness' to them?
But wait, they are angry because someone wrote malware, that's all. It seems AV people take blacklisting to heart. What Consumer Reports should have done is written a new packer for existing malware, then we could have bypassed that rule :)
Malware is to an AV product as a test case is to a program. Could their rule to not create malware be why they are so bad at detecting new malware, or could it be because it is a bloody hard problem and they don't want to loose market share by admitting it?
Right, sceptic out. I'm off to write my own self-modifying OS in C.
