About this tag
The flaw detection tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about vulnerabilities in security software, particularly antivirus packages that fail to scan or detect threats within disk image files such as Acronis True Image (.TIB) archives. Users report that malware like trojans and spyware can be hidden inside these image files, bypassing standard AV scans. The tag highlights gaps in current security tools and the need for improved detection methods to handle non-standard file formats. Topics include testing security software on isolated machines, deliberate infection scenarios, and the implications for system protection.
