Build 526 released on 3/6/2 has a new feature called
offenders kill list. The advent of KLEZ
emphasized eed for a new proactive protection
method that will not only block an attempt to install malware,
or alert on its presence, but will also reverse its doings,
to negate its effects.
The "kill list" method was first implemented
against KLEZ, through "killing" the initialisation
that the worm installed in the registry "machine run".
As the method proved effective, the kill list proactive
method was augmented to encompass additional worms, and
viruses. Presently, the kill list covers Nimda,
Sircam, and Klez
as well as other high profile malware. It's important to
add here that only malware that installs itself in the startup
queue fits handling by the kill list method.
To make the kill list most effective, the SmartUpdate scheme
has been upgraded too, to allow fast updating and the addition
of new threats to the list, by automatic updating.
The new "offenders kill list" feature, with its
improved smart updating, offer the InVircible users unparalleled
protection from new threats.
