computer virus

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. The term "virus" is also commonly used, albeit erroneously, to refer to many different types of software and hardware programs. The original virus may modify the copies, or the copies may modify themselves, as occurs in a. A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending it over a network or the Internet, or by carrying it on a removable medium such as a Floppy Disk, USB and Drive.

Top 5 Windows Antivirus

1. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal offers excellent antivirus protection, perhaps unsurpassed in its ability to unpack and scan compressed files - something that trips up a lot of other vendors. Should be used in conjunction with a firewall.

2. McAfee VirusScan Plus
McAfee VirusScan Plus is an ideal candidate for those seeking an antivirus/firewall combination without all the bloat of traditional Internet security suites. McAfee VirusScan Plus makes an easy job of removing adware and spyware, something not all antivirus products deliver.

3.
F-PROT Antivirus
F-PROT Antivirus for Windows offers a feature that's increasingly harder to find - it includes a command-line scanner that can be used to create a rescue CD for scanning the system in Safe Mode. This is a particularly effective way to remove stubborn resuscitators. Firewall not included.

4. G Data AntiVirusKit (AVK)
AntiVirusKit (AVK) provides a double layer of protection, bundling two of the best antivirus engines - Kaspersky and BitDefender - under a single, easy-to-use console. Like Nod32, you'll also want to bolster G Data's AVK with a firewall.

5.
Eset Nod32
Nod32 features a small footprint, low performance hit, and fast scan speeds, providing focused virus protection ideal for gamers or those with an older PC. Should be used in conjunction with a firewall.

Windows AntiSpyware

Spyware sneaks onto your computer disguised as an control or a program that a Web site tricks you into installing, or can even piggyback on legitimate software that you download and install. Spyware earned its name because it steals your private data without your knowledge. The latest versions of most antivirus software can detect certain installations of spyware. Microsoft has joined this battle with its recently released beta version of Windows AntiSpyware.

Free Antivirus Software

Security suites typically combine antivirus, antispyware, and a firewall with value-added features such as antispam and phishing filters. But full blown suites can be pricey. Spyware poses a threat to your privacy, security of your computer, and can cause unnecessary network traffic. Legitimate software from major manufacturers, such as Microsoft Office, does not usually contain spyware
