Antivirus software refers to a specific type of software that is designed with the primary objective of safeguarding a computer system against harmful software or malware. It accomplishes this by conducting thorough scans of files and programs stored on the system and comparing them to a database containing known malware signatures. In the event that a match is detected, the antivirus software either removes or isolates the infected file, depending on the level of danger posed. The importance of antivirus software cannot be overstated, as it serves as a primary defense against viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and other types of malware that have the potential to cause severe harm to a system by compromising security or stealing sensitive information. To enhance their capabilities, many antivirus programs also utilize cutting-edge technology such as machine learning algorithms and behavioral analysis, which enable them to detect and neutralize new and emerging threats effectively. Antivirus software can be obtained from various vendors, both for free or at a cost, and is typically available for installation on individual computers, servers, or networked systems.
