Hi all, 
This is the announcement for the publication of one of my article called
"Anti-Virus Evasion Techniques and 
Countermeasures" at InfoSecWriters(http://www.infosecwriters.com/). 

This article was already released by hackingspirits.com and at the FD list
on 3rd Dec, 2004 but I had to uphold the announcement at SecurityFocus since
I was planning to make few more enhancement in it but then I decided to
write a next version of this article which will have more advance techniques
of AV evasions. 

The objective of this article is to demonstrate different possible ways that
viruses and worms coders use to evade any Anti-Virus products while coding
malicious programs and at the same time I also explained about the
countermeasures techniques to prevent against such attacks. 

This article will also try to educate various kind computer users in the
simplest way to deal with viruses and worms and defend against such
malicious attacks where the AV engine become helpless when special
techniques are used by this malicious codes to prevent detection.
