[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Antivirus or anti-virus software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware,
including but not limited to computer viruses, computer worm, trojan horses, spyware and adware.
This page talks about the software used for the prevention and removal of such threats, rather than computer security
implemented by software methods.A variety of strategies are typically employed. Signature-based detection involves
searching for known patterns of data within executable code. However, it is possible for a computer to be infected with
new malware for which no signature is yet known. To counter such so-called zero-day threats, heuristics can be used.
One type of heuristic approach, generic signatures, can identify new viruses or variants of existing viruses by looking
for known malicious code, or slight variations of such code, in files. Some antivirus software can also predict what a file
will do by running it in a sandbox and analyzing what it does to see if it performs any malicious actions.
No matter how useful antivirus software can be, it can sometimes have drawbacks. Antivirus software can impair a
computer's performance. Inexperienced users may also have trouble understanding the prompts and decisions that
antivirus software presents them with. An incorrect decision may lead to a security breach. If the antivirus software
employs heuristic detection, success depends on achieving the right balance between false positives and false negatives.
False positives can be as destructive as false negatives.
