A virus-scanning program relies on the knowledge of known virus "patterns." When a new virus appears in the wild, it is analyzed, and a characteristic pattern of some 10 to 16 bytes recorded. The virus-scanning program will scan all executables on a disk, including the operating system, and the bootstrap sector(s), and compare their contents with the known virus patterns. 1, record 1, English, - virus%2Dscanning%20program
