What is heuristics?

0

Heuristics refers to a “preliminary detection” feature, which can also detect unknown viruses. This is due to a complex analysis of the affected code and scanning for virus-specific functions. If the analysed code does meet such characteristics, it is reported as suspect. This does not mean, however, that the code is a virus for sure; false positives may occur. Please send us the files, that were heuristically detected, for further analysis.
