About Anti-Viruses

In our current digital environment, 6000 new viruses are created and released every month. Anti-Virus Solution is software designed to recognize and protect against malware infections and unauthorized access of digital data. They are an essential component in a good cybersecurity system, as they safeguard against many popular forms of cyber attacks, which may include ransomware, spyware, or trojans.

An anti-virus may have many different processes to constantly monitor, detect, and protect against cyber threats. Here is how a typical solution works:

• Real-Time Scanning - The software scans incoming and outgoing data for potentially malicious actions.
• Malware Detection - The software compares stored and accessed files against those in a virus detection database, flagging it and notifying the user to take action against it if a match is found.
• Removal - If malicious software is found, the software will take action to safely isolate and remove it.
• Web Protection - The software protects users when attempting to access data from potentially malicious websites.
