Malformed Archives Scan Evasion Vulnerability Specially crafted archive containing a virus will pass through the antivirus system without detection. An attacker can compress a malicious payload and evade detection by some anti-virus software. The bypassed malicious content does not pose a risk until extracted from the archive file. Malicious content will be detected and eliminated by your Antivirus.
