Good question. An extremely small number of programs are designed so they will do this. The ones that I have seen do this are not important programs, but they are nasty people. When the program is first loaded, it also loads another program that keeps track of the main program. If it sees that the main program is gone, it reloads it. This is very bad behavior, but they still do it.
