Shame On Antivirus Fails | Rajat Poonia Rajasthan
As number of vulernability increases day by day so increase in protection is necessary.But we cant get the require protection from antivirus we used.
At total virus scanner give unexpected result ,which say 48 out of 50 antivirus are fail to detect a malware.
Brand new malware is detected by only around half of antivirus programs on the day it first appears, an analysis by security start up Last line Labs has found after running samples through the VirusTotal online scanner.
Over the last year, the firm ran hundreds of thousands of pieces of malware it had encountered through the service to see how many of the 47 antivirus products correctly identified the files as malicious.
Measuring detection rates using VirusTotal is not a new idea and the firm's results were more or less as might be expected; antivirus software gets better and better at spotting malware as time passes, but the detail reveals some important caveats. When no program on VirusTotal spotted a piece of malware on the first day, it took an average of two days for at least one program to detect it.
The firm found that around 1 percent of malware is stubbornly hard to detect using the signature technology that is the core of antivirus software. This unusual and presumably rare malware sits undetected for months and might never make it into signature databases of any product. Indeed, they were probably specially crafted to evade signature detection by simply not being common enough to be quickly spotted and fingerprinted.
whenever testing is done for virus or worms or for trojan ,then we got an unexpected results .
Speakly loud,it’s a message that increasingly works for the larger traditional AV vendors such as Symantec, which recently surprised the security world after an executive recently told the Wall Street Journal that antivirus software was “dead.” But Symantec increasingly wants its business user base to move to more recent products too and timed its historic admission to coincide with the announcement of new systems.
This is not good if you happen to be one of the small group of firms being targeted by these programs but that's been true for some time.
