A Unified Model for Computer Threat Protection (UMCTP)

This paper presents a unified way to unite major computer threat researchers, students, volunteers and amigos in antivirus industry under the umbrella of a Unified Model for Computer Threat Protection. The suggested model slices protection mechanism into two compatible parts to promote indigenous custom antivirus development. First part, rather static in nature, is unique custom antivirus software developed by individual organizations (users) that meets their specific needs. The other one, dynamic in nature, is the threat definition and research part contributed by global researchers' community in a standardized way to form a global public virus definition library. At the end a tentative sketch of such custom software for a strategic organization is also presented to model basic construct and essentials of an effective antivirus.
