How can CA Anti-Virus protect me from tomorrows viruses today?
Heuristic scanning engines enable CA Anti-Virus to detect even unknown viruses by analyzing file characteristics to prevent potential infection. Once a specific virus is added to our detections, CA Anti-Virus will also detect other iterations or variations of that virus. This way, when a new virus is created that uses a similar fingerprint as the previous virus, CA Anti-Virus will automatically detect the new virus.
