ABSTRACT:
The example embodiments herein relate to an antivirus protection system and method for computers based on program behavior analysis. The antivirus protection system may comprise: a Process Behavior-Evaluating Unit for identifying the programs existing in the user's computers and classifying them into normal programs and suspect programs; a Program-Monitoring Unit for monitoring and recording the actions and/or behaviors of programs; a Correlation-Analyzing Unit for creating correlative trees and analyzing the correlations of actions and/or behaviors of programs, the correlative trees comprising a process tree and a file tree; a Virus-Identifying Knowledge Base, comprising a Program-Behavior Knowledge Base and a Database of Attack-Identifying Rules; a Virus-Identifying Unit for comparing captured actions and/or behaviors to the information in the Virus-Identifying Knowledge Base to determine whether the program is a virus program. With the techniques of certain example embodiments, it may be possible to increase efficiency and reduce the need to upgrade virus codes after viruses become active, while also effectively blocking unknown viruses, Trojans, etc.
