Anti Virus Review Cnet

Why are people so outdated when it comes to anti-virus software?
Many people think any norton product is bloated and slow. That was right… a couple years ago.
WAKE UP!
We are in 2008!
Norton has improved greatly: on my vista computer (you read that right, vista), it is never slow, and not once have I noticed any bugs and slowdowns. (I don’t have a supercomputer, just a typical $600 store PC)
no wonder it recieved editor’s choice:

Why do people still think it is bloated and ineffective when they are making their judgements on years old info.
Thanks for the info

What the Virus $111.53 Antivirus software is a key security technology on todays end user systems. Current antivirus engines use two complementary techniques to detect malware. One is to statically scan potential malware sample files for certain patterns which are known ( malware signatures ). The other is to dynamically detect typical malicious behavior (e.g., modifications of registry keys, DLL injections etc.) upon execution of a sample. No antivirus product can reliably detect malware. Rather, all products are plagued by false positives and false negatives. An interesting approach to improve the reliability of detection is to run several antivirus products on a given malware sample. There are several online scanning services, that implement this approach. However, for performance reasons these services only use the static signature detection functionality of the anti virus products, and thus do not take advantage of the full functionality of current antivirus engines. This book explains how to overcome this limitation and to build an efficient online malware scanning service that fully utilizes the capabilities of current antivirus engines.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus $222.29 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was first identified half a century ago in 1956. Following its discovery, the virus soon became recognised as a major viral pathogen causing extensive outbreaks of respiratory tract infections in both the very young and in vulnerable adults. It is an unusual virus in that it can cause repeated reinfections throughout life. The topics covered within this volume are wide ranging in scope from the most basic molecular biology of the virus to the clinical picture of RSV in the developing world. The internationally recognised experts were invited not only to review the present state of knowledge but also to give their perspective on the current situation and to identify the gaps and future requirements for research in an effort to stimulate new cross-cutting approaches to tackle this major viral pathogen. |
