Is this a problem for anti-virus/other security measures? My understanding is, executables that manipulate themselves is something any security software will look for.

Though perhaps the answer is "don't rely upon security software to police your system; do it yourself"

Generally executables like to rewrite themselves while in RAM; rewriting on disk is rarer (since you leave behind the changes you made).
