About the Virus Detection Signatures
Total Traffic Control classifies dangerous programs as "viruses" even if they are technically worms, spyware, P2P, backdoors, rootkits, or trojans. Viruses that use the same process name every time, e.g., the famous "msblast.exe" worm, can be stopped by simply adding the process name to the Banned Processes table without having to add a virus signature.

Other viruses are not so easy to stop because they can change their process name randomly, or can infect good programs and use the good program's process name. The technique for stopping these kinds of viruses is to build a "virus signature" that uniquely identifies the virus.

Experts at Lightspeed work to keep the virus signatures up to date for new viruses. You can use this page to create virus signatures on your own in order to stop any programs you want, including peer to peer apps, instant messaging apps, spyware, etc. You can also create virus signatures using the Network Task Manager.
