When a Finjan alert appears on my PC, why doesn it show the name of the malicious code?
Finjan’s products use a unique and sophisticated procedure, known as behavior monitoring, to block malicious behavior from new and/or unknown programs. Anti-virus companies use signatures of known viruses to detect malicious programs, therefore, anti-viruses can only recognize viruses that have been pre-identified. Since Finjan’s products do not use a signature database like anti-virus software, the user is alerted of suspicious program behavior rather than alerted of a specific malicious program name. Because Finjan’s products proactively monitor behavior without a database of signatures, all viruses are unknown when they are recognized.
