Anti-virus is the first line of computer protection. With broadband and new ways to make the development of viruses profitable, the amount of viruses has climbed to the top. Most common term for this kind of programs is virus, but technically it is just one kind of what is named as malicious software or malware. Backdoors, Password stealers, Word and Excel macro viruses, Boot sector viruses, Script viruses(batch, windows shell, java, etc.), Crimeware, Spyware, Trojan, Virus, Worm, Scareware, Drive-by-download, Keylogger, Adwareand Rootkit fits under one title ? Malware Anti-virus software is on demand and now there is a good list to choose from. Anti-virus offers only partial protection, so it is always advisable to go for more expensive alternative as Internet Security suite, which integrates anti-virus and firewall software together. More advanced users may want to combine an anti-virus and firewall from different vendors.?
Most users choose their security software, according to price and most of all would go for free packages, witch, of course, is better than nothing, but may end up as an expensive option when it comes to virus removal by IT engineers, no to to mention -loss or damage to data. It always saves time and money to buy proper anti-virus. Another very important quality of the antivirus is a footprint to the system. Any kind of security software will more or less extend operating system start-up duration or you may notice slowdown on daily tasks and the Internet browsing. Some security programs are ?well known? for significant impact on the system, but technically it is inevitable, as the data and processes are checked in real time. Impact depends on how accurate data analysis is and if your antivirus does not show any effect on system speed it might be cause it doesn?t do much as protection.
