Google™ analyzed web-based malware detection to be troublesome

Growth and progress in any field is always appreciated. However, every good element is often tailed with an unprofitable factor. With the technological advancement at its zenith, malicious subjects have also made their way through. Over time, crooked minds have made amendments in their thought process and are now creating highly malicious products to puzzle the best commercially available antivirus products. According to a news issued by Google, the malicious websites in recent times had been developed efficiently enough to beat the armed resistance of even the most highly acclaimed antivirus products.

The application programming interface (API) fed in Google and Firefox browsers exude 3 million alerts for unsafe websites to nearly 400 million users a day. The company engineers implement various procedures to scan the web and find out if a website stands malice. But of-late, these detection techniques have proved to be a failure in identifying high tech malicious programs.

Dangerous websites are discovered through various updated techniques and a virtual machine called Virtual Machine Honeypot, which intrudes a website to observe its activities. This work of detection is also formulated through browser emulators that can analyze a web site’s behavior and attack sequence.

Google ranks the websites according to its behavioral reputation towards antivirus software products like the malicious websites that insert virus at the single click of a mouse by the victim. The signature method is also another process that is relied on by antivirus products. Apart from the discussed procedures, Google has also implemented methods to keep malicious products at bay. But all the procedures implemented so far are now failing to safeguard the system from being a victim to the cunning intentions of the malicious programs and software arms of infectious viruses.
