What is antivirus?



As the name suggest, antivirus software’s is an application or a suite of programs that finds and remove virus on computer and networks. In addition to viruses, most today’s antivirus programs are also capable of detection and removing other types of malicious software, including worms, trojans, spyware, adware, ransomware, browser hijackers, keyloggers and rootkits because this antivirus program identify this critical software and remove quickly their computers.

 

Sometimes running viruses program our computer but computer antivirus program is fastly detective that program and scan our pc hard drive and their all currently connected external strong devices and internal devices for protentional threats.

This antivirus will scan all files are individually and finding its database of known viruses to detected a possible threat, if it does depend on severity of the thereat. It will either delete, quarantine or repair the infected file the program will also monitor this nun sun viruses.


 

 

However, we need to run antivirus scan manually most of days antivirus program allow you to enable automatic scan and setup scan, schedule the best works for our pc.

As a rule, in this antivirus program automatic scan once week, but this antivirus program is running background process which mean they shouldn’t use up too much of our computer resources or slow down perfectly.


 

Today all antivirus software is designed by protected to all computers data and networks platforms, because now a days all computers connect to point to point then develop the network because these days every antivirus software developed main of network protection.

1)        Why we need to use antivirus?

 

Sometimes system without an antivirus is just like a house with an open door, an open and unprotected door will attack all thief in our home. Similarly, this unprotected computers always hacking, system failure and data damage every time.

So, an unprotected computer will end up inviting all the viruses to the system an antivirus will act as a closed door with a security guard for our computers fending off all the malicious introducing viruses.

However, antivirus software performed these basic functions.

·      Scanning direction or specific file for known malicious pattern indicating the presence of malicious software

·      Allowing users to schedule scans so they run automatically

·      Removing any malicious software, it detects.


 

·      Some antivirus software programs do this automatically in the background. While others notify users of infections and ask them if they want to clean the files.

This makes antivirus software itself a common target for attackers, and researchers have discorded remote code execution and other serious vulnerabilities in antivirus software products in recent years.

 

2)        What can do virus?

 

In case our computers attacked by a virus, it can affect our computers in the following ways.

 

Ø Slow down the computers

Sometimes this virus attacked our internal hard disk (HDD or SDD) then virus make artificial files and hard disk using space too much, however in that case system is running slow too much.

 


Ø Damage or delete files

Viruses is unauthorized device controller. They can attack our important files delete and hidden or damage properly. Sometimes this virus attacked our main files example: - Operating system disk or files, drivers or device files, or some software files they are commonly attacked and delete all files automatically.

The antivirus program that claims to provide optimal protection for our computer and our files, our personal data with such strong competition, finding the best antivirus software in our computing needs may prove difficult, when choosing an antiviruses program for personal use and need to consider its effectiveness against cyber threats, its performance the features it includes the operating systems. It is compatible with as well as the number of devices it can protect.

 

However, they never provide full protection against all threats, which means that we’ll also have to install at least one additional antiviruses malware program on your pc most of them are also supported, which is why they’re often classified as adware what’s more they may even include a spyware component.

Now a day’s computer world makes more many viruses and develop new attacked system in many ways, some computers viruses make by popular antiviruses company. They need to market own new antiviruses and developed the company profit and cyber ranked. However, some viruses always checked our important details and send the third-party users quickly. These viruses working many ways.

 

Malware is the short form used to describe malicious. This is designed to infiltrate and damage without user’s constant. This is covers to harmful activity into the computer. Some of these threats which threaten to one’s computer safety are as follows;

 

VIRUS

 

Some virus can enter to as some attachment. Its images, videos, audios, document and any internet download file. Virus is program written

 

 

 

to enter our computer and damage, repeat, delete our all-data files. Basically, it was very harmful.

 

WORMS

 

These worms are malicious software program that make of themselves many copies again and again. And with that spread to operating system and getting to space.

 

TROJANS

 

It was hidden attacker and entered to any videos, audio, images, and document. This trojan spread our system and create some fake file and fake details.

 

 

 

SPYWARE

 

This spyware installed with or without our permission and it get the permission our computer and collect our information then share to unknown person. It’s very dangerous and create new cyber matters.

 


 

1)        What type of antivirus's software’s?

 

Now a days the antivirus organized into the following three categories.

*Standalone antivirus software

Standalone antiviruses software is specialized tool designed to detect and remove certain viruses. It is commonly referred to as portable antivirus software because it can also be installed on USB drive and used by administrator to run an emergency scans of an infected system, however most portable programs aren’t designed to provide real – time protection and download new virus definitions daily. Which is why they cannot substitute internet security suites that include a variety of additional features.


 

 As mentioned above, security software suits are more than just antivirus programs in addition to being able to detect and remove virus they are also equipped to fight all other types of malicious software and provide round clock protection for our computers and files. Most of these program packages include anti spyware, firewall and parental controls features some also include additional 


functionality like password managers a VPN and even a standalone antivirus program bundled with the suite.
