Symantec develops quicker detection method
The technology claims to be able to detect self-mutating viruses, spyware, and other malware based on their code rather than a specific signature. Furthermore, files are scanned in specific areas as opposed to the whole file, vastly improving performance.
Over the years, viruses, worms and spyware have evolved considerably, making detection by traditional antivirus software increasingly difficult and time-consuming. This invention fundamentally reduces the complexity of detecting malicious software and shortens the response time needed to address new threats without the need for new product updates or patches.
