Demystifying an Antivirus

Tweet

What is an antivirus? An antivirus is a software that cleans your PC from viruses and trojans or other suspicious files. Most people would say that they are totally secure if they have an antivirus already or if there antivirus is on the top one spot of a certain PC magazine. But is it really true? Having an antivirus does not totally protect a user from viruses and trojans but it does minimize such self-replicating automatons and annoyances. Even though your antivirus belongs to the top 5 best antiviruses in the whole world, you are still not exempted from viruses because an antivirus is just a check list of viruses which she personally knows and that there are viruses which she doesn't detect but other antiviruses detect it. The best way to protect your computer is to download at your own risk, install anti spywares, scan for heuristics, scan your registry and look for suspicious files and upgrade everything in your pc.
