Intelligent Agents in Managing a Centralized Anti-Virus Solution

Agents are best defined as software with the ability to solve problems independently without any intervention or assistance from the user. Agents with intelligence characters would be able to adapt themselves to environment, be able to learn, rationalize and also communicate to with one another. A s...
