First Generation: Antivirus
The first generation of antivirus products was purely based on signature detection.
This generation of technology occupied most of the 1990’s and included polymorphic engines as well as basic rule-based MS-DOS, Win32, Macro and, later on, script heuristics. This period was also marked by the appearance of the first massively used win32 Trojans, such as NetBus and BackOrifice.
Second Generation: Antimalware

Second Generation: Antimalware
Starting in 2000 new types of malware started to emerge, with file-less network worms and spyware taking the spotlight causing massive and highly visible epidemics.
Basic antivirus engines evolved to integrate personal firewalls to be able to identify and stop network worms based on packet signatures as well as system cleaners to restore modified Operating System settings such as registry entries, HOST files, Browser Helper Objects, etc. It is within this second generation of technologies that Panda Software integrated the SmartClean functionality into the antimalware engine, designed to disinfect and restore the Operating System from a spyware or Trojan backdoor infection.
Third Generation: Proactive technologies
