MF_James posted:signature based virus detection is woefully inadequate and has been since like 2000 (I made the date up). It can NOT keep up with emerging threats or malware/virus creators that constantly change their code. It basically searches for the same string within the code that is seemingly unique to that virus/malware instance/family and flags it based on that, but if the creator figures out what that signature is, or just happens to change it out of luck, then the new version will not be detected. The signature based detection mechanisms utilised by closed-source AV software are entirely proprietary and no vendor will divulge the specifics of their detection mechanisms. Of course this is somewhat moot in responding to LordSaturn's comment as the point is entirely missed.
