Panda uses "genetic" heuristic engine
Panda Software, a maker of computer security software, now includes a genetic heuristic engine to detect previously unknown malware without updates or signature files:
Panda has extended its TruPrevent(TM) Technologies and announces the availability of its most innovative heuristic technology against unknown threats: Genetic Heuristic Engine. This new technology integrates correlation of genetic digital signatures and deep code inspection in a single algorithm, patent pending, which scans the code and DNA traces typical of malware.The company website is sufficiently obscure as to prevent this reader from knowomg whether the term "genetic" is used in the sense of a genetic algorithm or in the sense of a genetic metaphor. Do any IlliGAL Blogging readers know more?
During the testing period, this technology has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness, detecting hundreds of new unknown malicious programs (including spyware) that have emerged over the last few months, without needing updates or signatures. By working alongside the rest of the TruPrevent(TM) Technologies, its detection capacity is maximized while false positives are minimized and with a minimum impact on system performance.

The term "genetic" here is used metaphorically. The algorithm performs a statistical analysis of executable files and assigns a danger value to it, which is then used by the real-time behavioral component of TruPrevent to monitor running processes. It's looking for code fragments (the so-called DNA) and their relationships that have the potential to be malicious.
