Anti Virus Software with Sandbox Approach
Anti Virus software with a sandbox approach uses a proactive antivirus
solution which executes the suspicious file in a safe environment.
A sandbox simulates a fake computer and network environment, completely
separated from the rest of your computer. All files that enter this sandbox are expected
to execute certain tasks or to behave in a certain way. If a file suddenly starts
performing tasks beyond a defined framework, this will be detected as non-standard
behavior and the sandbox software will flag this file as suspicious.
Also it will ask you what to do with this file before this file can enter the
active part your computer system.
The downside of this kind of virus protection is the intensive use of your
hardware resources. Especially on older systems this could generate serious performance
problems.
