If you are not aware then let us tell you that a computer antivirus application has only one objective and that would be to identify a host of harmful Computer Viruses and other Malware residing on a PC. And once after having identified such viruses, the next step for the program would be to neutralize or delete such viruses so they do not play havoc with the health of your PC.

Popular Approaches adopted by Antivirus applications

In order to nip viruses or malware in the bud as well as detecting Computer Viruses, Worms, Spyware, Trojans, Malware, and Phishing attacks, a slew of approaches are adopted by an antivirus applications. A case wherein if we may only end up suggesting the more potent an antivirus application would be the better the chances would be of detecting and identify all possible instances of Viruses, Worms, Spyware, Trojans and Malware.

Common approach adopted by a Norton Antivirus Removal Tool and Security Application

Suspicious Behavior Approach

As it goes the Norton Virus removal tool adopts a range of methods for detecting computer viruses. And to start with it ends up adopting the Suspicious Behavior approach wherein the anti-virus application is responsible for monitoring the behavior of programs running on a PC on a round-the-clock basis. In fact, if the word of Norton Support professionals is to be taken the suspicious behavior approach is considered as the best virus detection methods because apart from detecting suspicious behavior of programs running on a PC it ensures the security system of a PC always remains in the pink of health.

Dictionary Approach

Next in line comes the Dictionary Approach and if the word of Norton Support personnel is to be believed this approach comes in good towards scanning computers files as and when they are created, opened, closed or emailed on a PC. The benefit of this approach is it can end up picking up a virus as soon as it is received. However, the downside to the dictionary approach is that only those viruses are detected which are included in the "dictionary" or comprehensive database of known computer viruses. This tends to mean your anti-virus program will only pick up well "known" viruses and in all possibility could very well end up missing out on newer, non-registered viruses infecting a PC.

Other Approaches

Even though the two above mentioned approaches would be considered to the most popular approaches used by antivirus applications available in the market; new techniques are constantly evolving all the time. One such new approach is called Sand boxing, which runs questionable programs in a safe environment to see if they are malicious or not. If the security is found lax in places it ends up recommending a PC user an urgent antivirus update.  And as it is the case many antivirus brands such as Norton, NOD32 and Kaspersky, are always looking to leverage the advantages put forth by this method, using it alongside a combination of Suspicious Behavior and Dictionary Approach for not only detecting but tackling a gamut of computer viruses and malware.
