First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer virus detection method comprising:
- compiling a list of heuristic events and a chronological order in which they occur;
comparing the list of heuristic events and the chronological order with a defined list of heuristic events occurring in a defined chronological order; and
determining whether a computer virus is present based on a result of said comparing.
