DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION 4. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 5. FINDINGS 6. SUGGESTIONS 7. LIMITATIONS 8. CONCLUSION 9. ANNEXURE 10. REFERENCES Chapter - 1 INTRODUCTION ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE 1.1 Definition of Antivirus Software Antivirus software sometimes known as anti-malware software, is computer software used to prevent, detect and remove malicious software. Antivirus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses, hence the name. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from: malicious Browser Helper Objects , browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious LSPs, dialers, fraudtools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity, online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat, botnets, DDoS attacks. 1.2 Features of Antivirus Software Antivirus software has the capability of searching an entire file on a computer system. Instead of just looking at a small section of an existing computer file, the antivirus software thoroughly analyzes it. This prevents viruses, spyware, and malware from hiding on your computer system and compromising the data stored on it. On-access scanning is another useful feature of much antivirus software. The real time protection will notify you of any irregular file activity that may indicate your computer system has been infected. Virus removal features are also included in antivirus software to take them off your current computer system. With frequent virus database updates, your antivirus software will effectively keep track of the latest threats that could harm your computer system. 1.3 Function of Antivirus Software Antivirus software is used to detect harmful viruses and other spyware on a computer system. Hackers frequently embed viruses on popular websites to infect the computer of anyone that visits their website. With antivirus software, viruses and spyware will be properly removed from your infected computer system to protect your important data. Most antivirus software programs can usefully identify common and uncommon malware applications that have been unwittingly installed on a computer system. 1.4 What is a Computer Virus? A virus is a computer code that has been designed to spread and replicate itself by passing from computer to computer. It is a piece of software that piggybacks on legitimate programs like Excel, Word, WordPerfect, Outlook, etc. When the program is run, the virus is triggered to run too. Viruses can be destructive in nature, and can cause a wide range of problems ranging from operating system and file corruption to getting blamed for email spamming. Some viruses are just annoying, but cause no damage. 1.5 How do Computers get Viruses? Viruses usually find their way into computers through networks by taking advantage of unpatched security vulnerabilities. In software or by receiving an infected file via email, download or shared disk. Depending on the type of virus, it may be embedded in an Excel or Word file, or may be designed to infect ct upon the opening of an email. Once infected, a computer can literally infect thousands of other computers by quietly spreading the virus without the user even knowing about it. 1.6 How Anti Virus Software Works Virus definition files tell the antivirus software what code characteristics to look for while monitoring your computer. When a certain file type or activity occurs that matches a characteristic, the antivirus software blocks the execution of code and alerts you that a virus has been found. The virus is then isolated and destroyed.Hundreds of new computer viruses are introduced onto the internet each week, and as antivirus software developers find these new viruses, they create updates of the virus “definitions” in order to provide the antivirus software with a way to identify and destroy even the newest of viruses. It is extremely important to update your antivirus software every day in order to make sure you have the most current virus definitions available. Fortunately, most modern antivirus software comes with an “automatic update” feature that makes this task a onetime “set it and forget it” kind of thing. 1.8 Problems related to the Antivirus Software Antivirus software has some drawbacks: 1. First of which that it can impact a computer's performance. 2. Furthermore, inexperienced users can be lulled into a false sense of security when using the computer, considering themselves to be invulnerable, and may have problems understanding the prompts and decisions that antivirus software presents them with. 3. An incorrect decision may lead to a security breach. If the antivirus software employs heuristic detection, it must be fine-tuned to minimize misidentifying harmless software as malicious. 4. Antivirus software itself usually runs at the highly trusted kernel level of the operating system to allow it access to all the potential malicious process and files, creating a potential avenue of attack. WORLDWIDE ANTIVIRUS VENDOR MARKET SHARE In the worldwide market for antivirus vendors, Microsoft leads with a 26.6% share of devices that use OPSWAT GEARS, and Avast follows at around 22%. These two vendors have taken the top two positions in previous reports. Because of their dominance in the antivirus market, few other vendors show a comparatively large market share. AVG, ESET, Symantec, McAfee, Avira, ESET and Kaspersky Lab each have a share in the single digits, while several other vendors (not shown) fall below two percent market share. These results only include devices with real-time protection enabled, indicating that the user’s machine is actively being protected.

In fact, Norton is one of the relatively few PC-industry names that has been with us since early on in the history of personal com- puters. If you only knew how many companies have gone bust or been bought up by bigger firms over the last two-plus decades, you would be astounded! This chapter introduces you to the various tools that are available under the Norton name (plenty!). Here, I focus in on the type of software, because you have so many different ones to choose from. Just as finding and using the right tool in your household tool chest is important when you’re want- ing to do a specific repair, choosing the right Norton product for the PC protection, repair, or maintenance job you face is important — and in this chapter, I help you do just that. Norton: A Name Long Associated with PC Care IBM’s name is still associated with the original PC-class computer that rolled out in 1981. This is true even though so many other manufacturers have joined theCOPYRIGHTED PC design and rollout industry. MATERIAL Not very long after the debut of the IBM PC, the name IBM was joined by the name Norton for some of the first utilities created to help consumers work with those PCs.

    iViZ Security Inc (In) Security in Security Products 2013 ©iViZ Security Inc 2013 Introduction We use security products to secure our systems and our businesses. However, the very security products we use, can themselves have vulnerabilities which can leave us susceptible to attacks. In this annual report iViZ studies the vulnerability trends in security products. In our last year’s report, we published trends in major security products and security vendors. We concluded with the fact that security products and vendors are as vulnerable and insecure as are any other products and vendors respectively. We took some time to find out what were the major security breaches over the last couple of years and the results are quite interesting. In 2012 alone, some major security vendors like Symantec Corporation, GlobalCerts and Panda Security among others got targeted and breached by attackers. Here is a summary of some recent major events of Security companies that got hacked. Symantec Corporation -Security software giant attacked by anonymous hacker in Jan 2012 The company had source code stolenfor software titles like Norton Antivirus corporate edition, Norton Internet security, Norton Utilities, Norton GoBack and pcAnywhere. They were hacked again in November with the complete database from the Symantec online portal leaked. Their employee’s database containing email addresses and passwords was breachedwith the loss of around 3,195 records. Panda Security, a cloud security company was hacked by LulzSec and the hacking group Anonymous in Mar 2012 Multiple usernames and passwords of employees were breached. Atleast 35 of their public facing websites hacked. GlobalCerts, a firm which provides Email Security Solutions hacked by an anonymous hacker in Aug 2012 Database hacked with over 1000 client details leaked.
