I think A) Activity blocking is also not performed by antiviruses because it's more related to firewall functions.

I believe the correct answer is D) Session hijacking because it's more of a cyber attack than a defensive task.

I'm not sure about this one, but I think heuristic scanning is also a task performed by antiviruses.

I think antiviruses do perform integrity scanning to detect file modifications.

Alright, let's see here. Activity blocking, heuristic scanning, and integrity scanning all sound like legit antivirus tasks. But session hijacking? Nah, that's gotta be the odd one out. I'm going with D.

You know, I was just thinking about how antiviruses are like the superheroes of the digital world. They don't do session hijacking, they do 'session saving' - that's way cooler!

Haha, session hijacking? Really? That's like asking an exterminator to fix your plumbing. Definitely D, no doubt about it.

Ooh, this is a good one! I'm thinking it's gotta be D as well. Antiviruses are all about detecting and preventing malware, not intercepting network sessions.

I agree, that's a bit of a head-scratcher. Personally, I'm leaning towards option D because session hijacking is more of a network security thing, not really an antivirus function.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. Antiviruses are supposed to protect us from all kinds of malicious activities, so I'm not sure why session hijacking would be a task they don't perform.
