Virus activity level threshold
– a maximum allowable number of events
of a certain type within a specified time interval; when this number is ex-
ceeded, the situation is classified as increased virus activity and a threat
of virus attack. This value is of great significance in the periods of virus
outbreaks as it helps the administrator timely react on the emerging
threats of virus attacks.
Virus outbreak counter
– a template used to create and issue notifica-
tions about a virus outbreak threat. The virus outbreak counter contains a
set of parameters that determine the virus activity level threshold, the dis-
tribution method and the text of notifications to be sent.
