ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE


                  An antivirus program detects the changes that a virus has caused in the computer. It is
                  recommended to install a good antivirus program to safeguard our computer from any
                  virus that may enter and update it consistently. Antivirus detects the presence of a virus,
                  warns us of the same and works to deactivate the malware.



                                    What if you could design an impenetrable cyber fortress to protect your
                                    computer from hackers? What features would it have, and how would

                                    you use technology to build it?


                  FEATURES OF ANTIVIRUS

                  Antivirus programs contain an automatic update feature that prompts the user to update
                  the antivirus program from time to time because there are viruses being replicated every
                  day, hence, it is necessary to update the antivirus regularly to handle these threats.

                  Most antivirus programs automatically check for viruses when they are installed. They
                  also automatically scan all the downloaded files from the Internet, e-mail attachments,
                  and all types of removable media inserted in the computer.

                  WORKING OF ANTIVIRUS

                  An antivirus program scans all the files and when an infected file is identified, it tries to
                  remove the malware. In case it fails to remove the infection, it quarantines the infected file.
