Use a heuristic algorithm to find viruses based on common behaviors Examin the content heuristics of the computer's memory (its RAM, and boot sectors) 7/25/2009 17 How Antivirus software works? : How Antivirus software works? Some anti-virus programs gives you a real time protection Examin files as they are being opened, downloaded, copied, accessed, and transmitted etc 7/25/2009 18 How Antivirus software works? : How Antivirus software works? They need regular updates in order to gain knowledge about the latest threats 7/25/2009 19 Damage prevention & data recovering : Damage prevention & data recovering Take regular backups (including OS) on different media, unconnected to the system (most of the time) 7/25/2009 20 How to prevent damages caused by viruses? Damage prevention & data recovering : Damage prevention & data recovering Use backups on optical media like CD and DVD (read-only), as they can no longer be affected by viruses.
