Various Schemes to Speed up the PC during Virus Scan
Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The current threat landscape is changing and we have seen a large volume of new viruses captured by security vendors each day. Customers always complain that anti-virus software slow down their computers by consuming much of PC memory and resources. Antivirus developers have to keep on inserting new virus signatures into their databases as variety of zero-day threats over the internet are becoming more popular. Due to this large database anti-virus soft ware slows down the PC. However, the increasing size of the signature file is not the only reason to drag computers to a crawl during the virus scan. Many antivirus products are available in the market claiming for the safest and more efficient antivirus. In this paper we will also focus on the other reasons which contribute in slowing down the computer system during virus scan. Distributed antivirus scheme becomes a popular solution for this problem. In this paper we will discuss the distributed security infrastructure for deploying a light-weight and fast anti-virus product and will also elaborate the different schemes responsible for slowing down the computer systems and suggested solutions for the same. We have also discussed some problems related to Cloud Computing and some solutions to it in this paper.
