VULHUB ™

The viral detection process in Norton AntiVirus can be bypassed if the malware is placed in the C:\_Restore folder in Windows ME. During a 'Full System Scan,' Norton AntiVirus will fail to recognize the presence of viruses and trojans in the \_Restore directory. If the \_Restore directory is manually scanned, Norton AntiVirus will alert of the virus' presence but will be unable to take any further action (eg. Delete, Repair, Quarantine). This could lead to the malicious placement of viruses and trojans that cannot be sanitized.
