ABSTRACT:
Antivirus software currently available is particularly suitable for detecting and eliminating known viruses. Encrypted viruses pose a major headache. These are viruses coded using encryption software, which cannot be identified by antivirus software. The only product which can defend against these is antivirus software with so-called “sandboxing” abilities.
Sandbox or Sandboxing is a simple security concept; a sandbox is a "sealed" container, which allows un-trusted programs to have executed within the sandbox. Essentially, programs can only "plays" within the sandbox, much as children were allowed to make anything they want to within the confined limits of a real sandbox. The sandbox can be conceived as a small area within the user's computer where an application's code can play freely - but it's not allowed to play anywhere else.
