Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for adaptively modifying antivirus databases. In one example, a system stores in an antivirus database a list of file types and antivirus records for different file types. When the system receives files for performing antivirus analysis, it retrieves from the database the list of file types and uses it to determine file types of the received files. The system then retrieves from the database antivirus lists for the determined file types and uses them to perform antivirus analysis of the files. The system then identifies files with an unknown file type and attempts to determine the file type of these files. The system then updates the antivirus database by (i) adding to the list of file types a new file type corresponding to said unknown file type, and (ii) adding a new empty antivirus list corresponding to said unknown file type.

System and method for adaptive modification of antivirus databases

A mobile device and associated method and computer-readable medium, wherein the device is configurable for data protection readiness. A preparation module is configured to perform preprocessing to prepare the mobile device for data protection readiness, the preprocessing includes: indicating certain items of data stored in the data storage arrangement which are of personal importance to an owner of the mobile device; indicating criteria that defines a situation for which the items of data of personal importance are to be secured; and indicating a set of actions to be carried out to secure the items of data of personal importance. A protection module is configured to monitor for an occurrence of the situation for which the items of data of personal importance are to be secured based on the criteria indicated by the preparation module, and to execute the set of actions indicated by the preparation module in response to a detection of the occurrence of the situation.
