Signature-based detection is a method of operation of antivirus and intrusion detection systems, in which a program, viewing a file or package, accesses a dictionary with known viruses compiled by the authors of the program. If any part of the code of the program being viewed matches the known code (signature) of the virus in the dictionary, the antivirus program can perform one of the following actions:
- Delete the infected file.
- Send the file to "quarantine" (that is, make it unavailable for execution, in order to prevent the further spread of the virus).
- Try to restore the file by removing the virus itself from the file body.
A quarantine is a special storage where objects that may be infected with viruses are placed. "Possibly infected objects" refers to objects suspected of being infected with viruses and their modifications. Such objects are quarantined automatically and do not pose a threat to your computer.
