Nowadays most vendors interferes and alters *a lot* in your operating system,
from hooking Win32 API functions to modification of the IAT.
It's only a question of who came first, the malware or the protection program.

Gödel and the limits of logic

Quote:

Another result that derives from Gödel's ideas is the demonstration that
no  program that does not alter a computer's operating system can detect
all programs that do. In other words, no program can find all the
viruses on your computer, unless it interferes with *and alters* the operating system.


Interesting, especially because actually Antiviruses do alter my
operating system, usually making it unstable.  That's why I don't use
them.
