List three tasks that an antivirus program can perform?
An anti virus is basically a tool to detect and defend your computer against malicious software.
The three tasks that an anti virus performs are:
# Detect virus in the system # Clean or eliminate found virus # Quarantine a found virus which it is incapable of cleaning. Quarantine action is done in order to block the virus from causing further damage to the system till a suitable tool is developed by the software company. In most cases when you update your anti virus quarantined items are scanned and if a tool is available to clean it then it is done otherwise the virus stays in quarantine.
