BT's Clever Anti-Virus E-Mail Detector
Posted: 24th Feb, 2005 By: MarkJ
Researchers at BT have developed a monitoring tool that identifies viruses carried by e-mail which have, as yet, remained undetectable by existing anti-virus systems:
The tool, VENUS (which stands for Viral Email Network Utilization Symptomizer) monitors the intranet email for symptoms of any new and unknown viruses that have penetrated normal anti-virus defences, and then proactively prevents their spread within the company.
Furthermore, once VENUS detects that a computer is infected, it will prevent the user from sending further e-mails, until the root cause has been identified and fixed.
VENUS performs these functions without the need for any human intervention, and works across all types of e-mail servers.
