We see this all
time. Users send in emails or write notes in newsgroups complaining that such-and-such a package is preventing them from installing a new game or that such-and-such version is saying that their new game is infected.
Or worse still, things just don’t work
same anymore since
software was installed. Downloads become more tedious because instead of just clicking download, now users are forced to answer questions about each download or approve downloads. Solution So what’s
answer? The answer as we have been touting in these series of articles regarding security software is to move to a more centralized approach. Instead of installing scanning software on your computer, install behavior-based software on an off-site testing server that receives test requests from
email server. All emails are routed through
testing server.
This then can be expanded to include web traffic that runs on a 10-second delay much like talk radio. You connect through
internet, all subsequent downloads, ActiveX controls, etc. are routed via a testing server and then arrive on your PC or are halted and removed and you receive
appropriate message.
In
time that it takes to receive a file, it can be tested, and trouble software can be detected. This approach works for detecting everything from viruses to worms to spyware. You as a user notice no long waiting, no downtime, no drag, and no incompatibilities.
