Virus scanners operate by scanning data from documents and programs and looks for certain strings of code in them which are tell-tale signs of a virus. Most virus scanners recognize these strings by connecting to a large information data base. Only known viruses with the certain strings of code in the data base will be detected though.

What is antigenic drift?
The genome of viruses can mutate over time through a variety of mechanisms. Some viruses are more prone to these mutations than others. When the genome changes, this changes the proteins that are expressed by the virus, included the proteins that are present on the surface of the virus. These proteins are the antigens that are recognised by the host immune system and which trigger the immune response. Antigenic drift is when the genome of the virus mutates thus changing the antigens expressed by the virus. This means that an individual immunized against a virus may not be protected if the virus undergoes antigenic drift as the proteins present of the surface of the virus are not the same as the virus against which the individual was immunized.
