What technology is the anti-virus program using?

DMcVea

Hey everyone! Hoping someone can answer this question (bit more technical): I was wondering what kind of technology F-Secure's antivirus program uses? Specifically, I'm interested if a malware database is used or machine learning? Further, are these technologies cloud based? Any help anyone can give would be great, thanks!

Dear @DMcVea,

Thank you for your question. I see that you've also decided to contact our Customer Support via chat with the same question yesterday and my colleague Sethu has provided you with some information.

In addition to that, I strongly advise you to familiarize yourself with the official documentation below

Also, there are few more posts on our Community forum about that:
