Virus Detection System is an application which shows the way of approaching a generic antivirus product. Unlike to some antivirus products which binds themselves to specific signatures of some particular viruses, this simulation provides a generic approach by which we are able to detect more than a single virus with a common virus code in the database.
For the users of antivirus products who would like to know the simulation of an antivirus the Virus Detection System is an application which shows the way of approaching a generic antivirus product
Unlike to some antivirus products which binds themselves to specific signatures of some particular viruses, this simulation provides a generic approach by which we are able to detect more than a single virus with a common virus code in the database.
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. The term “virus” is also commonly used, albeit erroneously, to refer to many different types of malware and adware programs. The original virus may modify the copies, or the copies may modify themselves, as occurs in a metamorphic virus. anti-virus software that can detect and eliminate known viruses after the computer downloads or runs the executable.
There are two common methods that an anti-virus software application uses to detect viruses. The first, and by far the most common method of virus detection is using a list of virus signature definitions. They are heuristic analysis and signature scanning. In signature scanning only single virus can be detected at a time where as in The second method is to use a heuristic algorithm to find viruses based on common behaviors. This method has the ability to detect viruses that anti-virus security firms have yet to create a signature for.
