Anti-Virus White Papers

The Computer Virus Continuum

Overview Obviously, with today's sophisticated virus threat, anti-virus detection must encompass the dynamic ability to detect based on even unknown behavior. This parallel has not been achieved in the medical community, where only viruses with known patterns of infection can be prevented. Indeed, even in the computer arena, few companies are able to successfully achieve a high standard of detection against mutating viruses, much less defend against newly created viruses.
