    What does anti virus software do?

    • Answer
    • Anti-virus software protects you, your privacy and your money. Viruses are bad news. They steal personal information, take over your PC, pop up unwanted adverts and they can even use your computer to attack other people's computers.

      You may also hear them called malware, trojans, spyware or adware. Anti-virus software protects you against all of them. To work properly, anti-virus software has to download updates regularly over the internet. Out-of-date anti-virus software will have flaws. It is a good idea that you install anti-virus software if you don't have any already.
