Antivirus or Anti-virus software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, including but not limited to computer viruses, computer worm, trojan horses, spyware and adware.
Here are some good steps to take regarding your anti-virus:
1. Even if you can’t afford to buy anti-virus, there are plenty of good free programs to be had.
2. After you install your anti-virus, update it and do a complete scan of your computer or laptop.
3. If your anti-virus has a scheduler, use it. Remember, the desktop or laptop needs to be running to utilize the scheduled scan.
4. Your anti-virus software can save you money on trips to the computer shop, so get to know it just like you know Facebook, Twitter or your email program.
