    Antivirus or anti-virus software is used to prevent, detect, and remove computer viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. It may also prevent and remove adware, spyware, and other forms of malware.

    Features of antivirus software


    Good anti-virus software will keep unwelcome intrusions locked out of your computer Protection from Viruses Scans of incoming files Scans of the computer Tools to prevent spam Protecting Personal Information Removal of marks/tags if files are changed Marking of clean files so they would not be rechecked Support defination of automatic ,pre-scheduled,periodic scan

    Drawbacks
    Running multiple antivirus programs concurrently can degrade performance and create conflicts necessary to temporarily disable virus protection when installing major updates such as Windows Service Packs or updating graphics card drivers A minority of software programs such as TrueCrypt are not compatible with anti-virus software.

    Antivirus performance test


    The objective of this test is to show how personal antivirus software influences the typical operations performed by the user, slows down its work and utilizes the system resources. Compared parameters are. Operation system boot time. Memory & CPU used by antivirus software. File copying performance (on-access antivirus scanner performance testing). Scan speed (on-demand antivirus scanner performance testing). Boot time for the five most popular office applications.
