Antivirus software protect the computer against various types of viruses and malware (some of them has the ability to detect and block spyware or malware).

During you are chatting with friends, visit websites, launch applications downloaded from the internet, accessing USB Flash drives, opening emails (especially attachments) your computer is at high risk to become infected with viruses.

Some viruses block the computer, disable functions of Windows, delete files, modify executables, display annoying popups, messages, slow down the computer, block the Internet, etc.

Antivirus software are essential for the computer especially when you have an Internet connection, use a local network or launch applications or games downloaded from other computers that may be infected.
it cleans all of your viruses and spyware out of your PC and keeps you with a better computing environment.
