| Windows Vista™ Ultimate x64 | Re: Security Team If I was to program a virus right now and send it to you how would your computer know it was a virus? Sure it might start breaking things but that's no reason for an AV to engage it. I thought a virus had to be added to a database before any AV could detect it. So brand new virus only coded a few hours earlier will not be seen as a virus, or am I wrong? Lets just be thankful not many people can program dangerous virus'  - By dangerous I mean to the extent where you have to get new hardware.... |

| Windows Vista™ Home Premium | Re: Security Team I agree Fmjc, And yes there are certain ones which are brand new. But you must remember. Lets take Kasperskey for example. They have people working 24/7 to try and either find new virus codes to add to there signerature database. Or they encourage the public to report them. They also "hire" 3rd party people, like you and me but older, and they go and try to "find" viruses. So even though they may be new, the companies can pick them up very quick. And i was also talking about Newbies Fmjc haha. |
