What is antivirus software and how it combats computer crime?

An Anti-Virus software is an program installed in one`s computer to defend it from harmful threats off the internet. It can combat computer crime by deleting malicious files off of your computer and stop an infectious download before anything goes wrong and if it does go wrong the software will delete the infections at (most) times. Anti-Virus softwares do not block off ALL harmful threats but they do certainly help. They can stop fraud off the internet by showing you which searches are safe and which aren`t safe, (when using a search engine).

Which antivirus is suitable to install to avoid viruses from torrents?

Generally not. Once a computer has a virus, it is considered compromised, like a zombie.

Unless you know the exact virus, it could potentially send the creator your emails, your email password, sent itself to your contacts, and many other bad things. If you know there is a virus, you might as well install free antivirus (Immunet on Windows, ClamAV on Mac/Linux) and remove it.
