Introduction

What is antivirus software?

Antivirus (or anti-virus) software is used to safeguard a computer from malware,

including viruses, computer worms, and Trojan horses. Antivirus software may also

remove or prevent spyware and adware, along with other forms of malicious

programs. Free antivirus software generally only searches your computer using

signature-based detection which involves looking for patterns of data that are

known to be related to already-identified malware. Paid antivirus software will

usually also include heuristics to catch new, or zero-day threats, by either using

genetic signatures to identify new variants of existing virus code or by running the

file in a virtual environment (also called a sandbox), and watching what it does to

see if it has malicious intent.

Virus designers, however, usually test their malicious code against the major

antivirus types of malware, specifically ransom ware, and use polymorphic code to

make it difficult to be detected by antivirus software. Besides using antivirus

software to keep your computer safe and running smoothly, it is also always a

good idea to be proactive: make sure your web browser is updated to the latest

version, use a firewall, only download programs from websites you trust and

always surf the web using a standard user account, rather than your administrator

one.
