Virus Protection
A virus is a computer program (usually disguised as something else) which is designed to cause undesirable effects on computer systems.
Viruses are also known as bugs, worms, Trojan horses, or malware.
Virus infections can be received through email attachments, disks or CDs, unsavoury websites, or Internet downloads.
Virus Protection software scans your machine (usually when you start it up), and locates and removes any viruses that are found.
