What
is INVIRCIBLE?
InVircible is a suite of intelligent programs. It has
a unique engine for each virus type. Currently this includes;
DOS boot, DOS File, WORD for Windows, EXCEL, WINDOWS executable
(like CIH) and Windows W97M VBA modules. InVircible understands
what a virus has to modify in a file to perform its replication
function. InVircible runs in the background on desktop computers
checking files as they are actioned from all sources - e-mail,
diskette, CD-R, webmail, file server, etc.
Why
is INVIRCIBLE better than ANTI-VIRUS programs?
InVircible was designed and engineered specifically
to address the weakness of mainstream anti-virus products.
It is an intelligent generic solution based on techniques
developed for protecting fighter and commercial aircraft
computer systems from enemy manipulation.
Unlike anti-virus programs, InVircible has removed the
need for reliance upon a database of known virus signatures.
This means InVircible stays a step ahead of virus writers
rather than trying to recover from the latest virus infection.
InVircible protects your data from all existing and
newly written viruses.
InVircible is a very intelligent software virus solution
for PC users. It seldom requires updating and provides a
greater degree of protection for LAN/WAN users than anti-virus
programs. It is easy to use and not intrusive on your computer
operations
InVircible is the best
generic Defence Network system in the world.
Major benefits of the InVircible strategy
are:
- The techniques used have no signature database dependence
and therefore the need for consistent updates is eliminated.
- Defence Network no longer impacts on day to day computing
workload.
- It removes any perceived virus threat.
- It frees up valuable computer resource including server
resource.
- The virus issue becomes non-threatening because of InVircible's
optimised protection.
- It is the most cost effective solution available.
- Distribution and maintenance is fully automated.
What is a VIRUS?
A virus is a computer program that is written to append
or imbed itself in legitimate programs to enable replication.
A computer becomes infected when it executes a program that
contains a virus. The objective of the virus program is
to write itself to as many host files as it can, as quickly
as possible, without detection. A virus can have a 'payload'
built in to trigger an event such as random file deletion
on a given date, or on a given number of executions.
What is an ANTI-VIRUS program?
Anti-virus software programs use a list of "signatures"
to check against incoming files to see if they contain a
string that can be recognised. Once a new virus has been
discovered it is sent to an anti-virus company for analysis.
A part of the code is extracted from the virus and given
a name. The "signature" and fix are then distributed
to the customer as an update. The anti-virus industry updates
their database of signature strings by several hundred each
month. They are constantly behind the virus writers.
