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.
