The reason why W32.Sality.PE can spread to millions of computers is because the virus is able to use genetic algorithms to automatically breed and generate generations of 'descendants' virus F1, F2 , . The longer the infection is on the computer, the more variation the virus will produce with greater complexity, making it more difficult for the antivirus software to identify and peel off the class. Therefore, W32.Sality.PE can overcome almost all antivirus software in the world.
