Expected shortly in beta, Morro, Antivirus free successor to Windows Live Onecare could according cloud computing. The principle of this new generation of Antivirus is to interconnect the client installed on the workstation with a data center managed by the publisher.
Cloud of virus already proposed by Panda, Trend Micro and McAfee.
This solution was adopted to fight against the continued growth of bases of signatures and the use of local resources. Concretely, this translates to the following process: opening a suspicious file triggers the sending of a request (with imprint and vector) to the data center hosting the Antivirus engine and a full database of signatures.
If the code is identified as malicious, a warning message informs the user. Changes in the parameters of the workstation can also be proposed to prevent infection and developed an anticode.

Several antivirus vendors, including Mcafee, trend Micro and panda security have implemented since 2008 this new technique. It is however not the case according to Kaspersky that this approach has to many limitations.

Deadly Computer Virus Attack on 1 April
Deadly Computer Virus Attack
A prominent security expert has warned that an Internet worm, called Conficker C, can strike at infected computers around the world on April 1.
Conficker C is a sophisticated piece of malicious computer software, or malware, that installs itself on a PC hard drive via specially written web pages and then conceals itself on a computer.
Graham Cluley, of the security specialist Sophos, has claimed that Conficker C is programmed
However,
And the biggest catch is that no one yet has any idea what exactly Conficker C is programmed to do.
In February, Cluley said,
Experts are fearing that on April 1 all the world's millions of infected computers may receive simultaneous instructions to attack, or to flood the Internet with spam email.
Ed Gibson, Microsoft's chief security adviser for the UK, was quite hesitant to make predictions about Conficker's behaviour.

Graham Cluley, of the security specialist Sophos, has claimed that Conficker C is programmed
"to hunt for new instructions on April 1".
However,
"this does not mean that anything is going to happen, or that the worm is actually going to do anything. Simply, it is scheduled to hunt a wider range of websites for instructions on that date",The Times quoted him as saying.
And the biggest catch is that no one yet has any idea what exactly Conficker C is programmed to do.
In February, Cluley said,
"It's as if someone is assembling an army of computers around the world, but hasn't yet decided where to point them".

Ed Gibson, Microsoft's chief security adviser for the UK, was quite hesitant to make predictions about Conficker's behaviour.
"April 1 is a classic date for anything like this to go off. But I really would hate to say that April 1 is going to be unlike any other day"he said.
