Researchers have found a way of hacking to get away from the protection created by dozens of popular desktop antivirus products, including those offered by McAfee, Trend Micro, AVG, and BitDefender. Methods were developed by researchers at matousec.com security, which works by exploiting existing antivirus program on the Windows operating system. In short, the method works by sending a code sample that passes through their security checks and then, before the code is executed, the exchange with a dangerous payload. Exploitation antivirus program must wait for the right time so that the code is not mixed up too early or too late. However, for systems that work on multicore processors, 'attack' matousec This can occur because a single threat can make other tasks that are run together, become unworkable. As a result, malware protection offered for your Windows PC can be fooled by allowing malicious code to work, which is usually when under normal conditions, will diblock malicious code by an antivirus. The method that is run by matousec use AV software, like SSDT, or the System Service Descriptor Table to modify parts of the operating system kernel, combined with the weakness of the Adobe Reader or Oracle Java Virtual Machine to install malware without being noticed by any antivirus software when users use a PC who become victims. Matousec reported that there were at least 34 security products are potentially affected by this attack. This technique can even work when Windows is run with an account that has limited privileges.
