How can attackers bypass 360 antivirus's interception of WMI calls when setting environment variables for persistence?

360 antivirus intercepts WMI calls like `wmic ENVIRONMENT create`, but attackers can bypass this by writing directly to the registry using PowerShell. For example, `New-ItemProperty "HKCU:\Environment\" COR_ENABLE_PROFILING -value "1" -propertyType string` achieves the same effect as the WMI command without triggering antivirus alerts, as described in the Logon Scripts article.
