Antivirus

If a malicious .bat file is put in a compressed folder and put inside a flash drive, will it be detected by the AV? By malicious, I'm talking about allowing remote access to the client PC.

Hello 911 someone on the Internet is talking about viruses

AVs can scan inside compressed folders, so yes it can be detected when the drive is plugged in

a competent antivirus should be able to dive right in there and and sweep the bugs.

 

i myself know ways around this, but for forum-specific reasons i will not say how. if you're on the potential receiving end of said virus this kind of trickery is nothing to worry about, if you're on the "deploying end" of this kind of virus.. a few things:

- first, get the flip off of this forum, this isnt the place for you.

- if you can figure it out on your own, you're clever enough to figure out on your own this could get you jail time.

- keep this garbage off of anything that is not your own, and in case it is your own, you can just whitelist trough the AV anyways.
