[QUOTE="TechBug, post: 291418, member: 13214"] Hi Folks Hope all of you are doing well. Today I want to share something about security products and it's [B][I]genre[/I][/B]. As an end user we are often in dilemma which product we should use ? Will it be able to provide me a secure bio ? Too many questions, right ? From the very initial days of AV products it's mainly [I][B]Signature[/B][/I] based and it did protected us from most of the known threats. But now a days the malware developers are much concerned about disguise and it's quite impossible to trace if it's nature is not malicious at all in a first look. Yes, I'm talking about '[B]Zero Day[/B]' threats. So, only signature or reputation based [B]AV[/B] software is not really enough to protect you. Here comes the role of [B][I]Behavioral [/I][/B]or [B][I]Heuristic[/I][/B] protection module. It protects you from the unknown malwares and exploits. You are safe, right ? Not yet as it's the peak-time of [B][I]Hybrid [/I][/B]Malwares. These are the complete package of Trojan, Worm, Root kits and they are able to disguise as a valid program without any traces. The cyber world looks really frightening, isn't it ? But we can be in a safe zone by employing some very useful tricks. I am not here to debate on which product is Best or The Savior, rather I will put some light on their nature, efficiency and compatibility with other softwares. There will be much more in the[B] Second Part[/B] of this chain article ! So, stay tuned. :) [/QUOTE]
