Antivirus applications try to identify, frustrate and eliminate computer viruses and other malicious programs. There are tens of thousands of known viruses, and hundreds are created every month. Increasing use of the Internet to transmit data increases exposure to these viruses. Viruses often target the soul of an organization, systems such as databases and email applications. Antivirus software has become a critical tool to prevent viruses from causing significant damage to an organization's infrastructure. By inspecting files as they are downloaded to a computer and searching for binary signatures of known viruses associated with executable programs, antivirus software systems block infections before they can cause damage.
A type of antivirus program that searches a system for virus signatures that are attached to executable programs and applications as e-mail clients. A virus scanner can search for all executable files when a system starts or scan a file only when a change is made to the file as viruses will change the data in a file.
