    Question Virus Scans...

    I was wondering what stops users from making a hack scanning with virusscan then adding a virus to it? you have proof it was scanned and clean and works... but now it's also got a virus in it? Does that not defeat the purpose of virus scans if it can be bypassed?

    No it doesn't. It's not like we blindly approve stuff. Sometimes virus scanners can't pick up malicious content within files, so that's why we decompile the files to see what it's really doing.
