It was fast and easily used limitless information as a development of information technology, but it was increased side effects. There are hacking or cracking, personal information leakage in these side effects. A computer virus is stated in a serious problem recently. The best solution about a computer virus is an anti-virus. An anti-virus downloads and is updated virus signature in server after it was installed in a client computer. Products interworking with server are released recently. However, if signature isn't aptly updated, anti-virus program doesn't normally operate these anti-virus systems, and remote management is impossible. Therefore, in this paper, an active server-based anti-virus system which is installed in server and was able to be managed remotely was designed and implemented in order to solve these problems.

An anti-virus is a widely used solution for detecting malicious software in client devices. In particular, signature-based anti-viruses detect malicious software by comparing a file with a signature of a malicious software. Recently, the number of malicious software dramatically increases and hence it results in a performance degradation issue: detection time of signature-based anti-virus increases and throughput decreases. In this paper, we summarize the research results of signature-based anti-viruses which are focusing on solutions overcoming of performance limitations, and propose a new solution. In particular, comparing our solution to SplitScreen which has been known with the best performance, our solution reduces client-side workload and decreases communication cost.

It is easy to access to the infinity information and programs, but it gives rise to the side effect. There are many side effects(ex. Hacking, Cracking, expose the personal information, etc). Nowadays, the computer virus raise the serious problems. The making program called Vaccine is work out a count measure. The Anti-Virus programs install on the client side computer and upgrade by downloading on the server's signature, the latest date, the program bound both of them is shown, but these programs have the defect that they have no remote control and no signature update because user's unconcern, This paper reported the research of existing virus infecting technology and the development of Web based Anti-Virus Scanner using the remote control on the internet server. Through this paper, I want to set up the counter measure for new virus easily, and to make more fast the vaccine for virus.

Due to the disadvantages of signature-based computer virus detection techniques, behavior-based detection methods have developed rapidly in recent years. However, current popular behavior-based detection methods only take API call sequences as program behavior features and the difference between API calls in the detection is not taken into consideration. This paper divides virus behaviors into separate function modules by introducing DLLs into detection. APIs in different modules have different importance. DLLs and APIs are both considered program calling resources. Based on the calling relationships between DLLs and APIs, program calling resources can be pictured as a tree named program behavior resource tree. Important block structures are selected from the tree as program behavior features. Finally, a virus detection model based on behavior the resource tree is proposed and verified by experiment which provides a helpful reference to virus detection.

In malware accident investigation, the most important thing is detection of malicious code. Signature based anti-virus softwares have been used in most of the accident. Malware can easily avoid signature based detection by using packing or encryption method. Because of this, packed file detection is also important. Detection methods can be divided into signature based detection and entropy based detection. Signature based detection can not detect new packing. And entropy based detection has a problem with false positive. We provides detection method using entropy statistics of entry point section and 'write' properties of essential characteristic of packed file. And then, we show packing detection tool and evaluate its performance.

Antivirus is an important issue to the security of virtual machine (VM). According to where the antivirus system resides, the existing approaches can be categorized into three classes: internal approach, external approach and hybrid approach. However, for the internal approach, it is susceptible to attacks and may cause antivirus storm and rollback vulnerability problems. On the other hand, for the external approach, the antivirus systems built upon virtual machine introspection (VMI) technology cannot find and prohibit viruses promptly. Although the hybrid approach performs virus scanning out of the virtual machine, it is still vulnerable to attacks since it completely depends on the agent and hooks to deliver events in the guest operating system. To solve the aforementioned problems, based on in-memory signature scanning, we propose an agentless runtime antivirus system VirtAV, which scans each piece of binary codes to execute in guest VMs on the VMM side to detect and prevent viruses. As an external approach, VirtAV does not rely on any hooks or agents in the guest OS, and exposes no attack surface to the outside world, so it guarantees the security of itself to the greatest extent. In addition, it solves the antivirus storm problem and the rollback vulnerability problem in virtualization environment. We implemented a prototype based on Qemu/KVM hypervisor and ClamAV antivirus engine. Experimental results demonstrate that VirtAV is able to detect both user-level and kernel-level virus programs inside Windows and Linux guest, no matter whether they are packed or not. From the performance aspect, the overhead of VirtAV on guest performance is acceptable. Especially, VirtAV has little impact on the performance of common desktop applications, such as video playing, web browsing and Microsoft Office series.

최근의 많은 바이러스들이 전달매체(Vector)로서 전자우편을 이용하며 탐지를 어렵게 하기 위해 다형화 기법을 사용한다. 현재의 안티 바이러스(Anti-virus) 제품들은 일반적인 바이러스와 전자우편에 의해 전파되는 바이러스에 대한 탐지 방식을 구분하지 않고 있으므로 전자우편 기반의 바이러스 탐지에 적절치 않다［1］. 또한 시그너쳐(signature) 기반의 탐지 방식을 이용하므로 다형성 바이러스를 탐지 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 전자우편을 통해 전파되는 바이러스를 대상으로 전자우편의 특성을 이용하되 시그너쳐에 의존하지 않응으로써 다형성 바이러스를 탐지 할 수 있는 기법을 소개한다.

Server-side anti-viruses are useful to protect their domains, because they can detect malicious codes at the gateway of their domains. In prevailing local network, all clients cannot be perfectly controlled by domain administrators, so server-side inspection, for example in e-mail server, is used as an efficient technique of detecting mobile malicious codes. However, current server-side anti-virus systems perform only signature-based detection for known malicious codes, simple filtering, and file name modification. One of the main reasons that they don't have detection features, for unknown malicious codes, is that activity monitoring technique is unavailable for server machines. In this paper, we propose a detection technique that is executed at the server, but it can monitor activities at the clients without any anti-virus features. we describe its implementation.

Script viruses are easy to make a variation because they can be built easily and be spread in text format. Thus signature-based method has a limitation in detecting script viruses. In a consequence, many researches suggest simple heuristic methods, but high false-positive error is always being an obstacle. In order to overcome this problem, our previous study concentrated on analyzing data flow of codes and has low-false positive error, but still could not detect a polymorphic virus because polymorphic virus loads self body and changes it before make a descendent. We suggest a heuristic detection method which expands the detection range of previous method to include polymorphic script viruses. Expanded data flow analysis heuristic has an expanded grammar to detect Polymorphic copy Propagation. Finally, we will show the experimental result for the effectiveness of suggested method.

Most of anti-virus programs detect and compare the signature of the malicious code to detect buffer overflow malicious code. Therefore most of anti-virus programs can't detect new or unknown malicious code. This paper introduces a new way to detect malicious code traces memory executable of essentials APIs by malicious code. To prove the usefulness of the technology, 7 sample codes were chosen for compared with other methods of 8 anti-virus programs. Through the simulation, It turns out that other anti-virus programs could detect only a limited portion of the code, because they were implemented just for detecting not heap areas but stack areas. But in other hand, I was able to confirm that the proposed technology is capable to detect the malicious code.
