Assuming I understand your question, it is a binary file... .
Use base64 encoding? If you really want to collate stuff in the same file (for whatever reason), you can use an encoding such as Base64 and use a delimiter string between different entries .

I mean there certainly are HDD-wipe viruses out there.
It is possible that a virus can make in which a virus can modify the cpu voltage.

When I was a Windows user, I received many times the Virus page in Google. I thought things change in Mac. I received today my first Virus page in Google. I am flabbergasted. The experience raises a question:
How can Google know that there is a virus?...

Google also shows that warning if a site.
Please note that it's not necessarily a 'virus page'.
I believe Google shows their "virus page" if either you, or in rare cases your ISP, perform far"-warning.

If you do have a heuristic-based detection program, just try some obvious virus behavior be pretty hard to find much of use by just firing off "a virus might do something like this" behaviors blindly.

But, how do viruses escape that filtering too?
Thanks in advance,

What version of Symantec Anti Virus are you using? What is the virus it reports.
