But the problem with these Rogues is, that it is very easy for the malware creator to update the Rouge, so it appears as a new, and maybe undetected malware for the antivirus engine. Now you can even as a cybercriminal buy an update plan to those kind of Rogues, to protect your investment, so to speak . But a non independent signature based protection, like a well configured behavior blocker will very likely, always stop the Rouge in it’s track.
