Why You Need an Email Exploit Detection Engine
Virus-writers are using increasingly complex and sophisticated techniques in their bid to circumvent anti-virus software and disseminate their viruses. Email security tools must evolve in the same way if such threats are to be blocked before they can cause harm...

One Virus Engine Is Not Enough
This paper studies a number of anti-virus engine tests which reveal that each virus scanner presents its own strengths and weaknesses. As no single anti-virus engine can fully protect against all possible threats, this paper examines how simultaneous use of more than one virus engine can achieve greater security than is technically possible when relying on one anti-virus engine alone.

Sandbox II : Worms and Viruses
Last year I presented how a simulated computer, which is integrated inside the scanner engine, can detect viruses based on actual performance. I demonstrated regular file replication for regular Win32 PE infectors. However, regular file replicating viruses do not pose the biggest threat – worms and viruses spreading through the Internet do...

Windows Scripting Host - disabling .VBS association
Windows Scripting Host (WSH) is a part of some of Microsoft's 32 bits operating systems, or is installed when certain Microsoft programs are installed. WSH may be used to run Visual Basic Scripts (VBS) to automate some actions which are to be performed frequently, and could thus be a useful tool. However - WSH are also used by some virus authors to perform malicious actions on computers.
