Malware is the general term for malicious software. This can include things like
viruses, worms and spyware. It can do a lot of damage like erasing files,
denying access to files, creating popups, turning the computer into a spam
email server and disabling the computer completely. Malware spreads through
email attachments, USB drives and programs downloaded on the Internet.
Antivirus software is a program or set of programs that are designed to prevent,
search for, detect, and remove software viruses and other malicious software.
The importance of antivirus software is mostly forgotten by many. But this
must be a necessary investment since it protects you from losing data from
corrupted files or from hackers. Serious effects like antivirus stop working,
your files automatically deleted, your internet connection becomes very slow,
task manager disable, even sometimes your window crashes happen because of
malware programs.

Several different companies build antivirus software and what each offer can
vary but all perform some essential functions:
 Scan specific files or directories for any malware or known malicious
patterns
 Allow to schedule scans to automatically run
 Allow to initiate a scan of a particular file or your entire computer, or of a
CD or flash drive at any time.

an infection and asked if you want to clean the file, other programs will
