Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Signature-based scanning involves comparing the code of a suspect file against a database of known malware signatures. If the suspect file's code matches a known malware signature, the file is flagged as malware. Therefore, it is an effective way to recognize the unique pattern of a virus. The other options (time-based, amplitude-based, and frequency-based) are not related to virus scanning.
