If it's a variant, it's a new virus and this line of thought is
meaningless.  A writer of a new variant has the available antivirus
products to make sure they do not detect his new variant so it doesn't
matter how you go about it.  He just doctors his virus, trial and
error, until it no longer gets picked up.

If it's not a new variant, we do detect those viruses that have the
capability of placing itself randomly in memory.  I did say "more
sophisticated."  :-)
