why are null packets (bit stuffed) detected as virus by some anti-virus programs.
Thanks in advance

A:
The only possible reason I can think of is if the packets are seen as somehow distorting the hash of the completed stream. I know a lot of Anti-Virus programs store hashes of various viruses and as a way of disrupting that a lot of the viruses throw in null lines and No Op commands in order to distort that hash.
