Ok quick question if someone had access to your machine (remote or local) would it be possible for them to remove specific virus definitions from your av.

Example someone has a basic RAT installed on your system which is not picked up by your AVP but they want to upload another well known RAT program which would be detected - could they access your AVP fils and remove the specific definition for that RAT?

I know alot of people will be saying "what would be the point next update will replace definition"

but have just came across a tool which disables updates for major AVP - which was not picked up by AVG (with latest definitions)

so someone could run it on my machine blocking any updates then remove whatever definitions they wished and install anything they like on machine. And because AVP is still running as normal (just minus certain definitions) I would be none the wiser.

so is it possible?
