Can a virus attack a anit-virus system?

I was thinking... If I had a virus of ANY sort. It can be made up but if you get a virus that is hard to remove. Can it attack the anit-virus and disable it then carry out the attack. For example HIV attacks the immune system so does this happen to a computer?

10 points for best answer...

Absolutely. Viruses and other malware does exactly that all the time.

Not only does some malware cripple ones antivirus defense, but it may also disable such needed system functions such as regedit, Task Manager and msconfig to make removal more difficult.

Some malware will even change the Windows HOSTS file to block access to anti-virus vendor and computer help sites.

viruses are programmed to get passed your anti-virus sustem

Yes...and it's been done
