What is Antivirus Software?
Lets face it, we are living in a highly technical age. Computers and digital technology surround us, cell phones that fit in our pockets have turned into full blown portable computers. There have been threats to computers just about as long as computers have been around. The first antivirus (AV) software was used to protect against just that, a computer virus. The name remains today, but there are far more malicious tools out there other than viruses. Modern anti-virus software protections can include shields against trojan horses, worms, spyware, adware, rootkits and can sometimes include guards against phishing.
