The current threat landscape is changing and we have seen a large volume of new viruses captured by security vendors each day. Customers always complain that anti-virus software slow down their computers by consuming much of PC memory and resources. Antivirus developers have to keep on inserting new virus signatures into their databases as variety of zero-day threats over the internet are becom...

In the ongoing arms race against malware, antivirus software is at the forefront, as one of the most important defense tools in our arsenal. Antivirus software is flexible enough to be deployed from regular users desktops, to corporate e-mail proxies and file servers. Unfortunately, the signatures necessary to detect incoming malware number in the tens of thousands. To make matters worse, antiv...

We propose a defense mechanism in computer network using gate-translator, double honeynet, sticky honeypot and antivirus engine of CloudAV, which attracts polymorphic worms. An algorithm is proposed to detect and remove the polymorphic worms and innocuous traffic related packets. Future antivirus is implemented on logically detached unused system.

Cellular RNA and protein synthesis are required both for interferon synthesis (Heller, 1963; Wagner, 1963) and the expression of the antivirus activity of interferon (Taylor, 1964). The suppression of the antivirus activity of interferon by metabolic inhibitors has been interpreted to mean that interferon acts as a de-repressor for the synthesis of a cellular antivirus protein. While direct pro...

While antivirus software is an essential part of nearly every computer, users often ignore its warnings and they are often unable to make a safe response when interacting with antivirus software. The aim of our study was to find working connections to increase a number of mobile device users who select a premium license with more security features over a free license with a limited level of sec...

The increased sophistication and evasiveness of malware has brought tremendous challenges to vendors of antivirus systems. Various malware detection approaches have been proposed and deployed to detect and remove malware. However, it is challenging for a single security vendor to analyze all malware and to provide up-to-date protection, e.g., a signature database. In this paper, we investigate ...
