IV Terms

  • Expert system: A software program that mimics the process of decision making of a human expert, in a particular area of expertise.
  • Knowledge base: The set of rules that characterize the knowledge in a particular field of expertise. The knowledge base governs the operation of an expert system and is the analogue of a database, in ordinary programs.
  • Generic: Not particular to a specific kind, but to whole groups, 'genus' in Latin. InVircible is generic in that it deals with entire groups of viruses the same way, rather than dealing with every particular one, separately. Generic AV does not require advance knowledge on the specifics of a new virus.
  • Proactive: Actively deals with malware threats even before they exist. The opposite to 'reactive' - which means 'able to react to a threat only after it has been analyzed and added to the database'.
  • Fail safe: A measure of robustness of a critical system and its non-criticality to failure. Fail safe systems are more dependable as they use redundancy and multiple independent methods to assure the completion of the task.
  • Multi layered: A system architecture that uses multiple and independent methods to deal with the same or various groups of threats. Each threat is handled by more than a single layer, which is what makes it fail-safe.
  • Virus: Parasitic computer code that can replicate by producing functional copies of itself, and inherit the replication ability to the offsprings.
  • Trojan: A program that pretends doing some useful or desired task, while in reality it does mischievous or harmful things. The distinction between a virus and Trojan is that the previous attaches to a host, hence 'parasitic', while a Trojan is the malicious program itself.
  • Worm: Self propagating computer code. Many of the new malware are viruses or Trojans, with self propagation ability.
  • Malware: An entity implemented through computer coding that has a non-benign intent. Viruses, Trojans, and worms, as well as hackers' tools are all malware.
  • InVircible: The only fully generic, proactive, and multi layered Anti Viral protection in the market, that deals with all malware, whether known or new, without depending on updates.
  • ResQpro: A general purpose data and disaster recovery package, used to regain access to a lost partition or hard drive, recover from disk crashes, viral damage, corruption and more
