Why updation of Antivirus needed and important ?
As I Mention above that Every minite there are lots of new virus types comes online to attack on our computers.So,Antivirus programs update their virus registry on a daily basis. These updates are important because new viruses are released every day, and they can go undetected if the virus scanner is not up to date.irus signature / database/data mask/ is an algorithm or a set of algorithms which calculate a hash to distinctively identify the strains of a virus.A generic anti-virus checks the database or virus signature and a heuristic anti-virus uses heuristic algorithm and checks malicious character in virus behaviour by different statistical and other advanced means.
