<VulnDiscussion>Malicious code protection mechanisms include, but are not limited to, anti-virus and malware detection software. In order to minimize any potential negative impact to the organization caused by malicious code, malicious code must be identified and eradicated. Malicious code includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and Spyware.
