Protocol
Protocol, short for Network Protocol, is a formal, detailed specification
of a communication format. Its purpose is to ensure that all
communication participants can decode and understand the
communication. In this document it most often refers to TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and its
sub-protocols.
Public Key
The part of the key in a public key system which is widely distributed
(and not kept secure). This key is used for encryption (not decryption)
or for verifying signatures. A public key also contains other
information about the subject, issuer, lifetimes, etc.
Quarantine
Quarantined items are isolated so that they do not pose any threat to
your computer.
The Quarantine repository contains all applications that have been
detected during the scan and moved into the Quarantine repository.
You can add new applications to the Quarantine when Virus & Spy
Protection detects them.
Random Seed
The seed value for the cryptographically strong random number
generator, which is updated each time an F-Secure application
closes.
Riskware
Riskware is any program that does not intentionally cause harm but
can be dangerous if misused, especially if set up incorrectly.
Examples of such programs are programs for chatting (IRC), or
programs for transferring files over the Internet from one computer to
another. If you have explicitly installed this program, it is less likely to
be harmful. If riskware is installed without your knowledge, it is most
likely installed with a malicious intent and should be removed. The
difference between riskware and malware is that malware is
specifically designed to damage your computer.
