Some anti-viruses even updated may do not have the virus signatures so the presence of certain viruses will not be discovered. A software by Faronics Corporation removes the difficulty for updating the anti-virus software. DeepFreeze is not an anti-virus software. But it will prevent the attack of the viruses very efficiently.
