A type of virus that has been designed to thwart attempts
by analysts from examining its code by using
various methods to make tracing, disassembling and
reverse engineering more difficult. An Armored Virus
may also protect
itself from antivirus programs, making it
more difficult to trace. To do this, the Armored Virus attempts to trick the
antivirus program into believing its location is somewhere other than where it
really is on the system.
