let say for example, imong kaspersky scans all files in your computer.. then each one of those files (archived, system and hidden) are being individually crossed reference to the latest pattern file on its database.... then let's say two or more of those files in your computer matches the latest virus definition file on its database.. AUTOMATICALLY, e tag dayon na niya as virus.. bsag dili pa na virus...it will flag you as a malware (though it is not), then up to the extent of alerting you which program is hosting that 'virus' and quaranteening or blocking the said host program from running on your PC.... ana ka strong ang heuristic approach sa uban AV..
naa puy uban nga e tag lang nya as generic threat (something not a virus but on the grey area level lang).. next update your AV gets from the update server will automatically untag or tag the said possible 'file' to be a real virus threat na or it could just allow it to normally run as a normal file...
Like I've said, some AV's are designed to have a more strong heuristic approach in 'dealing' with a said file, in tagging it as a malware or a innocent/normal file.. and some AV's have soft heuristic approach to dealing it and pass it as just one of those normal window apps you normally run on your PC..
