Fighting Internet worms• Honey pots• Computer elements to delude aggressors• 2 kinds of honey pots are used• High Interaction• Low Interaction• Honey pots versus worms• Honey pots and worm infections• Honey pots and payload worms• Honey pots and propagation of worms

How anti-virus software works• Virus dictionary approach• DAT files are released by the Anti virus company.• These DAT files have virus definitions and signatures of the
virus.• Suspicious behavior approach• Other ways to detect viruses• Sandboxing
