Antivirus Software , for what use , what is
good and what they are eventually? Let’s start with a brief definition: antivirus
software is generally used for prevention , protection and removal of computer
viruses , also it has the function of scanning (detection) and removal of
adware , spyware and malware. If you wonder what they are , well , they are
the most common and known types of viruses. Computer Viruses exist for a long
time , if i’m not wrong , even before the appearence of internet. They were
spreat at first time by floppy disk and by through CD , they were hard to
remove because there are few antivirus software and were updated relatively
rare (infrequently).
Dr. Solomon’s Anti-Virus Toolkit ,
AIDSTEST si AntiVir were launched in 1988. At the end of the year 1990 were
available 19 antivirus produces , including Norton AntiVirus and McAfee
VirusScan.
Infecting the computer with a virus cand
be relatively easily , a virus can be taken from the websites of the programs
through the internet network (wi-fi) , etc.
So , we can still guard against viruses? Anyone no can guarantee this ,
but I can offer some tips , tips for to reduce , as much as possible , risk
computer virus infection.
Avoid if possible download programs from
sites than not provide the necessary information , sites than not offer any
guarantee ragarding the content data. If you use trackers or sites for
downloading pirated software , avoid being the first to download the
materials presented. They no provide information regarding at „health” data
in that torrent. Wait until you see the first comments/reviews on the materials
you want to download. By downloading a program , regardless of what site ,
tell you about certain program. The most important recommendation , in
my view point , is to enable automatic updates of antivirus. Sometimes a
few hours delay can mean infecting your computer. Another equally important recommandation is
to activate the option of updating the operating system you are using , because
the system thre may be some bugs (programming errors) that may later become
system vulnerabilities.
How does a Antivirus that has to do with a
virus ?
There are
mainly two techniques that antivirus software uses to detect malware:
1. Examining and comparing files examined sequences code with code from
database antivirus software. In this case, the matching code scanned with the learned database,
antivirus deems a potential threat to your computer, and, depending on the user
settings, it takes measures accordingly: delete the file scanned,
quarantines, and block execution, etc.
2.
Detect malware based on behavior
programs. This
approach is based on behavior monitoring software running on computer. For
example, if a program tries to write data into a file without authorization,
this behavior is detected and signaled user's computer. Unfortunately this
approach does not really work, and brings a lot of false alarms.
Finally , i managed to make a small top with type antivirus
prrgrams that seem necessary and include several funtions:
1.Bitdefender
2.Norton
3.Kaspersky
4.Avira Pro
5.Panda
So ,remember, no matter what use antivirus because the
data / personal documents into are the most important in a computer and do
not think we would like someone unwanted or malicious personal have access to
our data.
thanks for informations :D
