No. Physical security measures refer to actual, physical barriers to prevent people from accessing a system or using it in a certain way. An example of a physical security measure would be using locks to prevent theft of computers, or keeping critically important computers in a separate place where they are not likely to be damaged or interfered with.

∙ 10y agoYes, a big part of anti-virus software is prevention. You hear a lot in medicine 'Prevention is the best cure," and the same principle can be applied to computers. If you can avoid getting a virus or a worm or... anything really, it's better than having to deal with it.
Unfortunately, viruses cannot always be prevented. That's where the other function of anti-virus comes in! The removal of the virus. Anti-viruses can scan your computer, detect rogue coding or files within, and delete it.
Some viruses are complicated beyond the point of anti-viral software, and you may need to take your computer to a professional.

How much does antivirus software cost?
The price various from software to software but most cost around 30 to 50 a year for the protection of three computers. Some anti virus software is a suite or a very large fully featured software. Suites are big and take up memory but they have a lot of useful tools. The best ones that I have seen are AVG 8, Trend Micro Internet Security 14 or 17 and Windows Live Onecare. AVG offers a free ($0) version of their anti-virus software. I have it running on several machines and have found it to be entirely adequate. You can install it as an interim measure until you decide to drop the money to buy an anti-virus suite.
