    It is a virus which hide itself from your antivirus to your scrambled data. And try to get inside the data and spread into the computer. And the antivirus is not able to find this virus as it create a newly file every time. I this the antivirus get difficult to find it. And this virus act as different file each time. This virus make different sing in different files.

    The stealth virus is quite different from the Polymorphic virus. This virus also hide and make a new files of it. It modify the existing files. It did not give any result to you. It make you antivirus to read the files which is duplicate as it is modified and not the original one. Only a better antivirus can catch this virus. This virus enter into the antivirus memory when it is installed.

    The slow virus is very difficult to find it modify and infects the data, and make a copy of it, but the original files will not be damage by it. To be safe from this virus you have to use integrity checker or shell. This virus is a auto start and spread it the system very fast. It spread in time 2.0 or above. It make appear some data random.

It will give you the proper solution. Install a new antivirus software, update it daily, also install a private firewall, for the patch hole security you can use updates like windows, apple etc. Do not open unnecessary emails.
