Abstract
A system and method for executing computer virus definitions containing general purpose programming language extensions is described. One or more virus definition records are stored in a computer virus data file. Each virus definition record includes an identifier, a virus detection section and an extension sentence. The identifier uniquely identifies a computer virus. The virus detection section includes object code providing operations to detect the identified computer virus within a computer system. The extension sentence includes object code providing reusable operations implemented in a general purpose computing language. For each virus definition record, at least one of the object code of the virus detection section and the extension sentence is interpreted.
