ANTIVIRUS

                  Antivirus software is a program designed to identify, prevent, and remove malware from your
                  computer. It helps protect your system by detecting viruses and other malicious threats and

                  preventing them from infecting or damaging your files. With hundreds of new viruses being
                  developed every hour, antivirus software developers frequently release updates to help their
                  programs recognise the latest threats. These updates are typically downloaded from the Internet,

                  so, it is essential to have an Internet connection to update an antivirus software. Some antivirus
                  programs may offer offline update options or alternative methods if an Internet connection is
                  not available. The term "eradicating a virus" refers to the process of completely removing a virus
                  from an infected computer, ensuring that the system is clean and secure.

                  There are several methods of eradication for malware. Some of them include:

                     Removing the code from an infected file that corresponds to a virus

                     Removing the infected file

                     Quarantining the infected file, which involves moving it to a location where it cannot be run

                     Separating all the infected files and applications so that the infection cannot spread further

                  Some well-known  antivirus  programs  are  Norton,  AVG,  McAfee,  Symantec,  SmartDog,
                  Kaspersky, Quick Heal, etc.

                      Funda           Scan  your  files  through  an  antivirus  program  before  opening  or


                                      downloading from the internet. If your antivirus software detects a virus,
                                      clean it; if the software is unable to clean it, delete the file.
