Explanation

The Antivirus Security profile is specifically designed to detect and block malware including viruses, worms, Trojans, and other malicious executables embedded in file transfers and network traffic. It inspects traffic streams for known malware signatures. Vulnerability Protection profiles guard against exploit attempts targeting software vulnerabilities (e.g., buffer overflows) but do not directly target malware payloads like Trojans. Anti-Spyware profiles block spyware, command-and-control (C2) communications, and DNS-based threats, which is distinct from blocking the malware delivery itself. Data Filtering profiles prevent exfiltration of sensitive data patterns such as credit card numbers and are unrelated to malware detection.
