Antivirus
Software which protects computers from viruses and suchlike.
It has to be updated frequently to keep up with the latest threats,
so is usually sold with a subscription which enables you to
download updates from the internet.
Virus:
A program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer
without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses
can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are manmade.
A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over
again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus
is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory
and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type
of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks
and bypassing security systems.
Anti Virus is essential for keeping your laptop safe and protected from problems, so ensure you install it if you haven't already..
