... "inoculation" software which labels disks or executables in such a way that a particular virus will not infect them is not to be used. This software introduces a virus signature into objects it wants to protect, leading the virus to believe that the object is already infected. Apart from the fact that such "protection" can only be done against one, or at most a few viruses, it is not a long term solution and can introduce a false sense of security. 2, record 1, English, - virus%20signature

[...] il faut déconseiller l'utilisation de logiciels «d'inoculation» qui marquent les disquettes et exécutables de telle sorte qu'un virus particulier ne puisse les contaminer. Ce logiciel introduit une signature de virus dans les éléments qu'il désire protéger, ce qui fait croire au virus que l'élément est déjà contaminé. Outre que cette protection ne peut se faire que pour un seul virus, ou au maximum quelques uns, il ne s'agit pas d'une solution à long terme et elle peut introduire un faux sens de sécurité. 3, record 1, French, - signature%20de%20virus
