It is impossible to prevent an antivirus scanner from being infected ...
someone, somewhere, can infect EVERY program ever written.  However,
most decent antivirus programs ... including TBAV ... have "sanity
checking" and will NOT run if infected.
If you'd installed TBAV as per the author's recommendation you wouldn't
have had the Major problem, btw ... I just tried to infect a HD with
Major.1644 and TBAV's TSRs barfed all over the place.
