A computer virus is a malicious software program that can infect a computer by
various means including download, email attachment, and through a network. Once
infected the virus can erase or delete files, format the hard drive, damage
various programs, replicate and send out copies of itself to infect other
machines
Antivirus software searches for the virus and related threads on the computer
and associated storage devices. Most anti-virus software detects viruses by
comparing the files found during scan on a computer with the virus definitions
in the software’s database. X-Wire researched and created solutions that are
both database based and behavioral analysis based to combat viruses that create
the following severe virus related issues:
Change
their characteristics when they infect a specific system
Hide their
presence
Try to
infect critical system processes
Subver the
windows messaging system to their advantage
Camouflage
