Quick Heal's Answer To Executable File Viruses

Quick heal is designed to deal with file viruses at multiple points and in multiple ways. The method of dealing with known viruses is different than the method of dealing with unknown viruses.

In case of Heuristic Scanning it is possible to recover the files. In fact it is like seperating the mixture F+V , where both are unknown. When a heuristic scanner suspects a virus like code in a particular file, it is not able to get hold of the actual code of the virus and hence removal of the unknown virus is not possible by this method. To brief the difficulty, with no prior information of the executable file as well as the virus code, detachment of the file from the virus was difficult.
