WHY WE NEED ANTIVIRUS IN OUR LAPTOP

 

    Antivirus is one of the important things that should be installed in a laptop.  Most of us still do not know the function of antivirus. So today I'm going to educate all of you about antivirus. Antivirus Software is a data security utility which is installed in a computer system with a purpose of protection from viruses, spyware, malware, rootkits, Trojans, phishing attacks, spam attack and other online cyber threats. So, why we are so anti with the virus? What is the virus? What is the definition of virus? Why we need to protect our data from the virus? A virus is any unwanted program that enters a user’s system without their knowledge. It can self-replicate and spread. It performs unwanted and malicious actions that end up affecting the system’s performance and user’s data/files. A computer virus can be thought of as an illness of the computer, just like human viruses that cause diseases in humans. Antivirus software, as the name indicates, is a program that works against a virus. It detects or recognizes the virus, and then after detecting the presence of the virus, it works on removing it from the computer system. Antivirus software works as a prophylactic so that it not only eliminates a virus but also prevents any potential virus from infecting your computer in the future.

Why Do We Need Antivirus.

A system without an antivirus is just like a house with an open door. An open and unprotected door will attract all the intruders and burglars into your home. Similarly, an unprotected computer will end up inviting all the viruses to the system. An antivirus will act as a closed door with a security guard for your computer fending off all the malicious intruding viruses. So, if you ever ask small kids either they want to leave the door close or open, you will know the answer immediately.

In case your computer is attacked by a virus, it can affect your computer in the following ways:

-        Slow down the computer

-         Damage or delete files

-          Reformat hard disk

-          Frequent computer crashes

-          Data loss

-          Inability to perform any task on the computer or the internet

Antivirus software is like a ray of bright light in a world full of dark viruses. The number of advantages that they offer is countless. Some of the most prominent advantages are:

1) Protection from viruses and their transmission

2) Block spam and ads

3) Defense against hackers and data thieves

4) Ensures protection from removable devices

5) Protects your data and files

6) Supercharge your PC

7) Firewall protection from spyware and phishing attacks

8) Limit the access of websites to enhance web protection

9) Keeping an eye on kids

10) Protects your password

11) Cost-effective

A virus attack can inflict as much damage as forcing you to buy a new computer because your old computer has been damaged beyond repair. Not having a protective mechanism for your computer system is like inviting viruses to your computer by providing them with a clear and accessible entrance. Will you ever want to damage your computer with your own hands on your own will? If no, then get antivirus software as soon as possible so you can use your computer without the constant fear of falling prey to a virus attack.
