      I've never understood how viruii got around AV products on machines running them. It's my understanding this is somehow possible because of other unpatched flaws in the OS, even though the AV knows about the virus, the virus can still get in through the OS flaw, then using that flaw disable the AV, and pwn the machine.

      Do I understand that incorrectly?

      It's normally through another piece of software than the OS today actually. Microsoft finally got most of the holes in their swiss cheese plugged. Ironically, the programming code that many AV use also creates a hole for malware to enter through. Wish I had a few minutes to find those articles that hit recently.
