Antivirus or anti-virus software (often abbreviated as AV), sometimes known as anti-malware software, is computer software used to prevent, detect and remove malicious software.

Malware, short for malicious software, is any software used to disrupt computer or mobile operations, gather sensitive information, gain access to private computer systems, or display unwanted advertising.

Before the term malware was coined by Yisrael Radai in 1990, malicious software was referred to as computer viruses.

The first category of malware propagation concerns parasitic software fragments that attach themselves to some existing executable content.

The fragment may be machine code that infects some existing application, utility, or system program, or even the code used to boot a computer system.

Malware is defined by its malicious intent, acting against the requirements of the computer user, and does not include software that causes unintentional harm due to some deficiency.

A web threat is any threat that uses the World Wide Web to facilitate cybercrime.

Web threats use multiple types of malware and fraud, all of which utilize HTTP or HTTPS protocols, but may also employ other protocols and components, such as links in email or IM, or malware attachments or on servers that access the Web.

They benefit cybercriminals by stealing information for subsequent sale and help absorb infected PCs into botnets.

A heuristic technique ("find" or "discover"), often called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical method not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but sufficient for the immediate goals.

Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution.

Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision.

Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, stereotyping, profiling, or common sense.

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), commonly informally termed a web address (a term which is not defined identically) is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it.

A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), although many people use the two terms interchangeably.

A URL implies the means to access an indicated resource and is denoted by a protocol or an access mechanism, which is not true of every URI.

Thus is an URL, while is not.

URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages, but are also used for file transfer (ftp), email (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many other applications.
