anti-virus software

What you need to know

Antivirus computer software is an essential component of every Windows and Mac OS user's security arsenal. Viruses and other malware pose a significant danger to your security and system functions.

A virus is a small software program that corrupts or erases your files, and it can spread itself via e-mail to other computers. When downloading an e-mail attachment, such as a photo that appears to be from someone you know, you'll want an antivirus program to scan the file to make sure it's free of malware. A good program updates itself to fight the latest viruses, runs regular computer scans without your assistance, and lurks in the background while you work or have fun to find suspicious activity and stop it cold.
