Recent developments in computer virus writing have caused a major rethink on strategies used by anti-virus software to detect virus code. Apart from the constantly increasing requirement for storage of information which describes each virus, the increased numbers of polymorphic (encrypting, self-mutating) viruses has led to the deleopment of algorithmic languages which describe virus code.
The lecture will include live demonstrations of computer viruses.
