Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v10) — Question 109
Which of the following viruses tries to hide from anti-virus programs by actively altering and corrupting the chosen service call interruptions when they are being run?
Answer options
- A. Stealth/ Tunneling virus
- B. Macro virus
- C. Cavity virus
- D. Polymorphic virus
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Stealth/ Tunneling virus is designed to manipulate service calls to avoid detection by antivirus programs. In contrast, the Macro virus primarily targets applications like word processors, the Cavity virus focuses on hiding its code within files without damaging them, and the Polymorphic virus changes its code to escape detection but does not specifically alter service calls.
