How Virus Software Works

Viruses can seriously damage your computer. If you notice a slow down in your computer's optimum performance and it shuts off on its own, it has probably contracted a bug and you definitely need anti-virus software.

Anti-virus software is a type of computer program that identifies, counteracts and removes malicious software that could be cause for viruses. Anti virus software are especially intended to counteract viruses but is now expanded to combat a wide range of threats like Trojans, worms, rootkits, and more-malicious types of software.

Anti virus software scans and analyzes a program within a specific location or folder in your computer. It works the same way as when you search for certain files from your computer. Anti virus scanners examine the files and detects potential viruses that have been previously enlisted in a virus dictionary. These viruses when scanned are automatically repaired, quarantined or deleted from your computer. Furthermore, anti virus programs also detect possible threats from any computer program which might indicate infection.

Some anti-virus software is not intended to generally remove all types of viruses it has detected on your computer. Some anti virus software, like the virus removal tool is intended to delete not all types of viruses but target only specific types of viruses and deletes it from your system more effectively.
