Quick Heal Next Gen - Comprehensive Virus Defence | << | >> |
It is the default scanning method in Quick Heal. This is not provided as option and used in every scan. This module scans for viruses based on their signatures. These signatures are stored in a signature database that is shipped with Quick Heal and updated regularly to cover the solution to new viruses.
What is Virus Signature?
A signature is a sequence of bytes using which a scanner can
identify a infected file. This sequence is found out by anti-virus
researchers after studying the virus program. A infected file
has these bytes added to it by the attacking virus as it tries
to duplicate itself.
