What is Anti-Virus?

Anti-Virus solutions are software which a user can download onto their device to help protect them from obtaining malicious malware and experiencing cyber attacks.

Computers are often susceptible to viruses, even more so when connected to the Internet. The nature of threats depend on the kind of virus which attacks your computer system, but you won’t need to worry about your computer acquiring damage caused by a virus if you use a computer virus protection software. Using a virus removal software could save yourself from thousands of computer threats.

What can I be protected from?

Viruses

An anti-virus program will protect against computer viruses, or attacks that mean to damage a computer.

Bot Protection

This alerts a subscriber when a cyber criminal is attempting to remotely take over a computer to use as a source for automatic spamming and other crimes. Bots are what botnets are based on (groups of ordinary people’s computers that have been infected in order to carry out attacks on other entities).

Worm Protection

By definition, worms attack networks rather than computers themselves. However, worms can carry payloads of malware that can be deposited onto computers, which will then do damage. Antivirus software can prevent this sort of attack.

Trojan Horses

Antivirus software can’t stop a person from being duped into thinking that a desired downloaded program or file is legitimate. However, antivirus software can warn them when malware is detected within a Trojan Horse file.

Spyware

Antivirus software can detect when a computer has been infected with spyware, or software that’s meant to either collect data of usage or steal information, even when the source came from a reputable, legitimate source.

Messaging Protection

Whether it’s instant messages or e-mails, antivirus software can warn users when these messages contain dangerous attachments or fraudulent links. Instant messaging security is important today.
