Abstract:

Maintaining a clean and virus-free personal computer is one difficult task. Since people today are becoming more engaging, exchange of data and information also becomes prolific. In the process, it is inevitable that as data are transferred from one unit to another, several kinds of computer virus often comes along with it. This oftentimes causes harm to computer systems. This study is conducted with the purpose of providing an enhancement on the previous research undertaking concerning the development of a mechanism to handle computer viruses. The researchers were guided by Experimental Research method in the conduct of the study. The result of the study is Dynamic Cleaning Utility Virus - a virus that counter-attacks viruses, neutralizes it and provides protection among your files and folders. DCUV is capable of counter-attacking more viruses dynamically. The application was tested by 20 students of the Information Technology Education program of the University of the Immaculate Conception. In conclusion, the researchers believe that apart from having a user friendly interface, DCUV is capable of neutralizing viruses that enters both the computer’s system and other storage devices.
