Abstract. Viruses, Worms and Trojan Horses, the malware zoo is grow-ing every day. Hackers and Crackers try to penetrate computer systems, either for fun or for commercial benefit. Zombie-like creatures called Bots attack in the 10’s of thousands. Computer intrusions cause monetary as well as prestige losses. Countermeasures surely have to be taken, so a look on current technology and future outlines seems advisable. 1
