Default Heuristic scanning

You are right, I was talking about "heuristic scanning" which, as you pointed out, is not foolproof but, along with what we currently have, is certainly better than nothing.

However, until another virus deleting technology emerges, we are stuck primarily with “signature” based AV apps, and you know the inherent problems this old technology faces.

Peace and safe internetting.
