Of course, just like any other of the type the heuristic algorithm may
occasionally produce false alarms, however Code Analyzer has been
tested many times and checked a large number of files, and has not so far
been actually deceived. If you do encounter a false alarm while checking
files using Code Analyzer, please let us know and send us copies of the
virus-free files that were identified as infected so that we could study them
at Kaspersky Lab.
When scanning the code the heuristic detecting tool examines the structure
of a program down to several sublevels slowing down the general scanning
rate of
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Sun Solaris Mail Server
approximately by 20%. This device detects92 % of the viruses (including
many encrypted ones) in Kaspersky Lab’s database, and we believe that
new-found viruses that aren’t yet in the database will be detected with the
same degree of probability.
