Antivirus software is a program that shields computer from harmful software that can damage them, disrupt their functions or expose sensitive information to outsiders. This article explores how we can improve antivirus software to deal with new and emerging threats in cybersecurity. We propose using a fusion of heuristic and behavioral analysis to implement specialized results for various threats, including ransomware, remote persistent threats, and vulnerabilities. We also suggest that real-time scanning become accustomed to check newly downloaded files and full subfolder scanning for added safety. Additionally, we recommend using the VirusTotal API to provide users with an extra layer of security by scanning URLs. In summary, this solution offers a fast and effective solution to deal with the challenges of modern cybersecurity.
