Assessing the Successful Detection of Viruses and Malicious Programs Name Course Institution Date Assessing the Successful Detection of Viruses and Malicious Programs Various tools have been invented by information technology experts to detect and as well as prevent computer viruses and other malicious computer programs. The viruses and other various malicious programs are created by cyber criminals and they try as much as they can to ensure that the malware is difficult to detect (Christodorescu et al. 2005). This paper aims to look at some of the tools to counter computer malware programs their advantages and disadvantages as well as analyzing the effectiveness of the various antivirus scanners together with other disinfectors.
