Abstract

The dissemination of software has never been so easysince Internet becomes widely available. This ease ofaccess to free software has also pushed the wide spreadof viruses to a new plateau. In this paper we presentVICEd, a system for generic virus detection over theInternet.VICEd is based on a virus detection methodologywhich is a combination of software emulation andknowledge base. It detects viruses using their behaviourinstead of pattern matching. It is thus more effective against unknown or mutated viruses than scanners.This methodology is interesting in its own right.VICEd is a member of a group of system management agents currently under development at the National Taiwan University.
