Can an antivirus program's 'virus definitions file' be used to reverse-engineer a virus?
I failed an exam some years ago over that exact question. I said yes, every virus could be reverse engineered with a definition file and it was marked wrong. It seems that sometimes they antivirus folks cant figure out exactly how the virus works, but will figure out how to disable and remove it. Then they just incorporate this into their av and move onto the next virus. Somebody with a background in programming would have a far better idea about this and could explain in alot more detail than I can.

How can technology prevents virus outbreaks?
Antivirus software can prevent most, but not all virus infections on a computer. This is because antivirus programs have one major disadvantage: they detect viruses using a large database of the signatures of every known virus.

One report stated that the Symantec antivirus company had to create 36 new signatures every 7 seconds in order to keep up with malware writers.

Personally, I use Avast Antivirus and recently upgraded to a two-year subscription of their Internet Security program. Speaking from experience with Avast and computers, no antivirus software can delete every virus made at any given moment. Virus definitions (how antivirus programs identify viruses) are updated daily even through the free version of Avast. So viruses can eventually be deleted or as Avast refers to as "quarantined," but needless to say is very effective and highly recommended. See the related links below to download it.
