Thanks in advance.
Yes, it is always possible to disassemble a program, but if the program is protected/packed, the code you see disassembled is the unpacking/protector code; the actual program gets unpacked at runtime. So, you either need to unpack the program to see its code in the disassembler, or you just look at the code at runtime using a debugger.
