Thank you for the translation Dubi, that is indeed very significant news.
The below 2 paragraphs from yesterday's story (#msg-8746811) are very impressive as well. If Commtouch has or can get patents on the techniques they are using, and if their algorithms not easily emulated, then their software will be used *everywhere* to prevent virus distribution via email... Aiming4.
Commtouch's Zero-Hour solution analyzes massive amounts of email (SMTP) traffic in real-time, using data collected at different key points over the Internet to achieve a representative sample of worldwide traffic. In a fully automated process, it analyzes patterns of malware outbreaks, to identify new outbreaks as soon as they are distributed (usually long before their first instances reach the protected organization). Unlike most proactive AV technologies, Commtouch Zero-Hour is a high-performance engine with extremely low CPU requirements.
"Aimed at detecting mass outbreak indicators, Zero-Hour is differentiated from other proactive virus detection technologies by several advantages. First and foremost is the immediate and accurate detection of new outbreaks" stated Yachin. "In a 6-month trial in a live ISP environment, this solution demonstrated signature-independent, new virus detection and blocking of well over 90%. This performance is especially impressive considering that common proactive solutions such as heuristic-based ones hardly exceed the 30% mark."
