Your post is pretty hard to read. But i'm guessing you mean polymorphic virusses. That's all software :D

True... but, it does need "hardware" to run.... :p

i m sorry to ask dddur, but do you know the difference between hardware and software??
just wondering..
coz if you know, you can easily understand whether it is a software or hardware...

LMFAO..

before wandering off into the wild world of computer virii, I'd recommend doing a beginners course on English..

perhaps then you could find what you need here http://www.ebcvg.com/category.php?cat=6&p=4

I think what you are trying to ask, (in a roundabout way), is what is the difference between a polymorphic virus and one that encrypts itself.

As I understand it a polymorphic virus changes it's appearance permanently on each iteration and therefore will never look the same twice. Ones that encrypt themselves for transport and "hiding" are only altered until they decrypt. Once decrypted they look the same as the original iteration.

hai guys

thanks for all u r replies

i think i had given the question in the wrong manner

i want to know whether the decryption engine is a hardware or software

bcase in a seminar they told it is a hardware but till now i am thinking it is a software

so only this question

waiting

software of course, but keep in mind it's your computer doing what the software tells it to do.

It all depends on the application, there are hardware encryption boxes.
Virusses never use 'm though as most people don't have hardware encryption boxes.
