Change VGA graphics adapter vendor id

Hi guys. I working with some AV programs, and I saw that some malware detect VM hardware ids to prevent running at VMware

Is there any way to change vendors of VGA adapter or other devices?

For example:

Even if I change name of videocard in driver I always see:

Vendor:  AuthenticAMD

    CPU Family:  0x10

    CPU Model:  0x4

    CPU Stepping:  0x2

    CPU Type:  0x0

(my processor)

VendorID:  0x15ad

DeviceID:  0x405

(0x15AD = VMware Inc)

Any solutiones?
