Have you seen ants walking on your computer because you have left over food on your desk? Maybe that’s the one reason why you saw an ants. But do you know about the Digital Ants who can help you on your computer?

Scientist from Wake Forest University and The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have created an army of Digital Ants and their superior officers, digital sergeants, and sentinels, to search out viruses, worms, and other malware. Like their biological counterparts, each ant is not very bright. A connection rate, CPU utilization or one of about 60 other technical details is all they can sense. When an ant detects something unusual, it leaves a digital pheromone, a tiny digital sense that says something unusual is going on here, and other ants should check it out.
