I think that this test is not serious because this test does not cover all methods of "loading" in the OS-kernel and resistance to "loading" in the OS kernel is not top priority of Anti-Virus'es.

Hi, The Sentiel!

Sorry, that forced a long wait.
I can proof my statement:
QUOTE (RRB @ May 1 2009, 11:59 PM) *
this test does not cover all methods of "loading" in the OS kernel and for Anti-Virus'es resistance to "loading" in the OS kernel is not their top priority.

Top priority of Anti-Virus systems are detection of malware and treatment of active infection.
Resistance to "loading" in the OS kernel is one of the main priorities of proactive protection systems because top priority of proactive protection systems is prevention of active infection, but not detection and treatment of active infection.
