Does preEmpt replace my anti-virus software?
No, preEmpt and anti-virus solutions are completely compatible since the two utilize different methods to provide protection. Anti-virus solutions look for vulnerability signatures of specific threats as they appear on the system. preEmpt blocks the underlying vulnerabilities exploited by worms and viruses protecting systems from specific threats before anti-virus vendors have had a chance to analyze a new worm or virus and develop a signature file to recognize and block that threat. This is known as the ‘Window of Exposure’.
