First hacker make the virus and scan it for virus...

He then looks at the virus definition Anti-Virus gives to his virus

Then Hacker tries to remove that anomaly by changing the code...

He then crypts his virus with a encryption program specially designed to encrypt the viruses known as Crypters. Crypters encrypts the virus code in byte format using encryption algorithms. That way anti-virus won't have a chance to detect it.

But as Anti-Viruses are becoming more strong, the viruses also...

At the time of execution of crypted virus's code has to be decrypted... so that's where AV's hooks catches the virus. To remove this problem virus uses something called Portable Execution. This technique loads the virus code to memory, or into some other program like 'explorer.exe' and executes it. This way virus without even touching the Hard Disk of victim can do it's job and hence bypass the AV, just like a ghost.
