Yeh, I know what you mean, it's a pity that some of these creative virus 
writers couldn't put there skill to something more useful than popping porn 
up on our desktops.

In reality, the methods that they adopt are usually pretty simplistic  - 
just creative use of the win api's.  The real skill is in rootkiting and dll 
inject - total system cloaking - but it's hard work and you need to stay 
abreast of the windows updates.  We have a system like this running and it's 
pretty impressive - just looks like there's nothing there :) - but our 
product is a legitimate one.....

I think i had explained myself badly in the first place...

No offence taken, regards
