Re: How malware runs on a computer?

Once your machine has been infected you can no longer trust anything. The malware can turn off your AV, change pointers so you can't see it (root kit), and much more.

OK thanks. But assuming the malware is not that nasty and you have gotten new signatures to recognize it, will the autoprotect of the A/V detect malware that has been installed as a service or startup item? Or do you need to run manual scans to detect it?

Thanks
