Traditional antivirus software works by the detecting the signatures of known viruses. To get around this, hackers will tweak viruses to alter the signature so the virus is not detected. Or, when a new software exploit is discovered it is added to existing viruses, changing its signature again. Signature-based detection is absolutely vital in halting viruses but to this BullGuard has added behavioural-based detection. This identifies new viruses or variants of existing viruses by recognising abnormal ‘behaviour' that is something that doesn't conform to the myriad known processes that happen on a computer. Consequently new viruses can be identified and stopped. Fusing together signature and behavioural based protection results in ‘multiple protection layers.'
Overview of the BullGuard Antivirus functions
- Quick scan
- Scan profile checks the locations on your PC that are usually targeted by viruses. It checks for rootkits and also scans the registry and all the running processes and temporary files stored on your computer.
- Full scan
- Complete profile that will scan all files on all hard drives. The scan times depend on your computer's performance, the number of storage devices, file types and how much space is taken up with data.
- Custom scan
- The top 5 custom Antivirus Profiles are also accessible from this list. Simply select one of them to start the scan. You can create your own profiles.
- Quarantine
- You can review all the files that have been sent to Quarantine by the Antivirus. If needed, you can either delete the infected files or restore any file that has been unnecessarily quarantined - a so-called false-positive case.
- Settings
- Opens a new section, where you can configure the On Access module, choose what items are scanned, change advanced settings and decide what the Antivirus does when it encounters a threat.
