A limitation of signature-scanning virus detection is that ________.
A) variants and polymorphic viruses can slip through undetected
B) it can introduce false positives and false negatives
C) virus lists can become prohibitively large as viruses proliferate
D) all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Signature-scanning virus detection relies on known virus signatures, so it can miss new variants and polymorphic viruses (A), may produce false positives/negatives (B), and requires maintaining large virus signature databases (C).
