  • IT Security
CONT

Some integrity shells combine the integrity checking function with virus-monitoring software, so that any suspicious activity is reported. Numerous false alarms invariably result and tend to be ignored after some time. The user is unfortunately left with a false sense of security, which is probably the worst result of using such products.

CONT

Certains shells d'intégrité combinent la fonction de contrôle d'intégrité avec le logiciel de surveillance de virus, entraînant la signalisation de toute activité douteuse. Il s'ensuit invariablement de nombreuses fausses alarmes que l'on tend à ne pas prendre en compte à la longue. L'utilisateur a malheureusement un faux sens de sécurité, ce qui est probablement l'effet le plus pernicieux de ces logiciels.
