Antivirus software are computer programs
that attempt to identify, neutralize or eliminate malicious software. The term
"antivirus" is used because the earliest examples were designed exclusively to
combat computer viruses; however most modern antivirus software is now designed
to combat a wide range of threats, including worms, phishing attacks, rootkits,
trojan horses and other malware. Antivirus software typically uses two different
approaches to accomplish this:
examining (scanning) files to look for known viruses matching definitions in a
virus dictionary, and
identifying suspicious behavior from any computer program which might indicate
infection.
The second approach is called heuristic analysis. Such analysis may include data
captures, port monitoring and other methods.
Most commercial antivirus software uses both of these approaches, with an
emphasis on the virus dictionary approach. Some people consider network
firewalls to be a type of antivirus software, however this is not correct.
