Do you know what "heurisitics" is in antivirus ? For the early years
of 2000 on, Norton antivirus hjas always been kinown for this feature
and as part of it's selloing feature and track record for blocking
virtually all viruses and worms. All descent antivirus (paid
subscription) has this and is knwon for it as whether it is rated well
and trusted by consumers for protection choices.

If you don't know what this is, perhaps the next time you may see the
pop up "your antivirus has just blocked or quarantined such and such
threat" - - - when you are browsing the web - it is a very good chance
that is exactly waht just ocurred. Your paid antivirus protection
using heurisitics (detecting unknown threats) has just caught and
either deleted the severe threat as unable for it to be cleaned or
caught and instantly deleted what serves no purpose but malicious
intent such as a trojan.

That can also happen when downloading email. Not the regular cleaning
emails of threats and reports - but when there is a specific threat
activated by simply downloading the email to your computer. That was
"heurisitics" 99 percent of the time quarantining or immediately
deleting the virus/worm/trojan - and that is what the pop up message
was again - "your antivirus deleted or quarantined such and such a
threat".

In other words heurisitics in antivirus is half of the real time
protection at all times 24/7 - even when the computer is shut down.
