Obviously, then, your book does not include the phrase "Halting Problem"...Sorry, I don't follow you there, you mean that the scan would halt the system ? fair enough, I don't think any method of scanning a target is fool-proof, no matter how its done.
Ahh, no...

Good to know, i did not know that this dilemma had a name :-)
It would be _nice_ to do that, but it is an equally fraught problem. After all, even if you could entirely reliably programmatically determine that the users's system was compromised, you cannot trust any
response from the system, or that any message you try to send to them to alert them to this will not be intercepted by some warez put on the system as a result of the compromise...
Good point, I guess I am glad I am not trying to design this system.
... a textmessage/SMS might be wiser.
