What are features of virus protection?

Answer 1

Answer

Adequate anti-virus programs have a few basic features of protection. The first is to scan files located on your computer as you either open, close (or both) files. This feature is important because if you open a file that is infected but your av software detects it the infection can be resolved. The next feature focuses on the web. Basically this feature tries to make sure you do not go to a website that is known to be malicious. The next feature focuses on removable media. Removable media is anything device that is inserted into your computer such as a usb drive or a cd. Removable devices can be dangerous because people often travel and connect them to a number of computers. These computers may or may not be infected. This is why most AV programs give users the option to scan removable malware. Now you might be wondering what is the best AV software. To be honest "the best" is relative. What is good for me may not be good for you. However, I recommend you download Avast Free Antivirus. I've been using it for a few years and I do not have any complaints. Many other people are using Avast and they have stayed protected. Avast has detected a number of malware threats on my computers that other AV software programs missed. You can download at
