Antivirus Software

This is a program that scans your computer for virus's and when it finds them generally, it will erase them. This is called disinfecting. The list of virus that the program can look for is downloaded when you install the program. Since new virus's are created every day, this list will need to be updated regularly or you could get a virus even with an anti-virus program.

There are several adequate anti-virus programs that are available from the internet. You can click on your SEARCH button, use you favourite search engine, search for the keyword antivirus and find a list of different programs to try. There are also commercial programs that you can buy either from the internet, or from your local computer store. Two of the most popular are Norton's Antivirus and McAfee's Viruscan. Either of these will serve you quite nicely.

Anytime you download information from the internet you take the risk of getting a computer virus. By far most of the time this will only happen when you download programs, (shareware, games, ect.). You can prevent this by not downloading information from the internet (which is not very fun) or by downloading and installing an Anti-virus program.
