I’m no fan of insects, particularly ants that always seem to find a way into your food even if you leave it unoccupied for 2 seconds, but it seems that programmers now have an ant-inspired way to write antivirus software. Yes you’re still on the right page; we’re not doing studies on how insects function but apparently, how these ants attack intruders have given programmers a fresh gush of insight on how to protect your PC from attacks.

If you try to agitate an ant, it will send out signals and call for backup, bring along hundreds and maybe thousands of other ants to attack you. Ok so that may not be applicable for us humans with bug spray, but if another insect decided to mess with an ant, an army of ants will come crawling out to attack that threat together. When it comes to the digital world, researchers plan to unleash a digital ant to roam your computer, and when a threat is found, well, you know how it goes: time to call for backup.

Now this makes sense to unleash an ant to roam your computer, because an ant is small, it couldn’t consume much resources could it? But what if the threat is like us humans, who can just squish that ant with one finger? Well, guess we’ll find out how things turn out in the future.
