Let's say I write a virus.....

I pack my virus into an executable file (ends in .exe).....

I now call that file "notepad.exe" (which happens to be the name of the file that runs the Windows notepad application.....

I then substitute my file for the original file on the user's machine.....

The observant user will spot the difference in file size.....

Not if I can pad it out and make it bigger </me Evil Grin>
