Antivirus software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If the program seems to use self-modifying code or otherwise appears as a virus (if it immediately tries to find other executables, for example), one could assume that a virus has infected the executable. The spread of viruses using e-mail as their infection vector could be inhibited far more inexpensively and effectively, without the need to install additional antivirus software; if bugs in e-mail clients, which allow the unauthorized execution of code, were fixed. Unfortunately, many popular antivirus programs do not have this and thus are often unable to detect encrypted viruses. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-virus_software   (1239 words)
