It's still about as good as it gets. Hitman Pro is recommended because it's a conglomerate of MANY different antiviruses all in one package. If one AV misses it, and another detects it, then you have a MUCH better chance of catching a nasty in the act. But all of the AV's (including the ones in HMP) are losing the battle seriously. There's just too many of them and all of the major antivirus engines are available to test your new malware against on places like virustotal.com.

Just keep changing the code until none of the AV's detect it and you ship it. As soon as any DO, then just change the code until they don't anymore, wash, rinse, repeat.

The REASON why viruses work is because all of the major operating systems ship with what is called "debug" code which allows one program (legitimately a "debugger") to be able to attach to any OTHER program.

All of the major OS vendors now require developers to pay for special versions which would allow legitimate vendors to debug their code inside those "pre-release" versions. There's no reason on this earth for OS vendors to still provide debug hooks in their commercial releases anymore, except for some VERY big corporations that need those debug hooks for their OWN purposes, such as advertising companies and of course governments spying.

If they would just close THAT hole and flip off the powers that be and lock them out, the number of viruses would dwindle real fast if they're unable to "hook into the system." I've been fighting this battle for years, but nobody in the industry is buying.
