In the world of computer networks, viruses pose a major threat not only to the data, systems, and networks but also to the economy. The main factors that make viruses so dangerous is their rate of propagation and their replicating speed. These features of the viruses take them to a high priority level as far as network security is concerned. Many antivirus software patches are incapable in securing the network from a completely new virus. Most prevention techniques used today are implemented only after the virus has attacked the system and spread out in the network. This makes the security measures very static. In today's world it is very necessary to block an incoming new virus at the entry level itself and prevent its passage in the network in order to curb its harmful action. The security measures implemented must be memory, cost and time efficient. We present the architecture to vaccinate a computer and computer networks not only from existing viruses but also from a newly developed/encountered virus, making the computer and computer networks more secure.
