AppSamvid – An Application Whitelisting Software
AppSamvid is an application whitelisting software for Microsoft Windows based operating systems. Whitelisting allows only pre-approved files to execute on operating system. This is in contrast to traditional signature based antivirus software approach of blacklisting the virus files. Whitelisting has the advantage over blacklisting as it does not require frequent virus definition updates. AppSamvid can protect operating system against computer malware (such as Viruses and Trojans).
