What is Anti-Virus Software?

Have you heard of viruses? No, not the ones that are in real life like that pesky flu, the one that is on the computer. If you haven’t heard of it, we have another post that will tell you about Malware. But if you have, great! Let’s continue.

A virus is a malicious software that is programed to attack your computer. An anti-virus software is basically the opposite! It’s a special script programmed to locate viruses and keep them away and out of your computer. As soon you decide to get a computer, we recommend that you also get an anti-virus software with it.

An anti-virus software is like a guard dog for your computer. While you might have a real live guard dog at your home, people can also get into your house and monitor you– through computers! That is why we highly recommend you too get an anti-virus software for your computer, so you can keep those pesky viruses away!
