Why Do We Need To Install Antivirus Software?


 
Computers
Let us begin by defining the term software. It is an abstract program that is installed on a computer of smartphone to perform a specific function. Therefore antivirus software is a program that has a task of protecting a computer from being infected by a virus or removing a virus that may already be eating the files in a computer.

There are a couple of ways through which a virus can infect a computer. The first way is through peripheral devices. When someone inserts a USB flash disk, external hard disk or SD cad that is infected with virus, then that computer is likely to be infected. Number two way of infection is through the internet. When one goes online trying to browse into the internet with a computer that is not protected, they are likely to pick up threats like Trojans, worms and malware which are normally harmful to computers as they slow their speed, hide some files and generally develop anomaly behavior. Mostly viruses infect computers through the internet.

Due to the above reasons, we need to get an antivirus software internet security that can help protect computers from infections when browsing. Internet security includes spy ware programs that monitors the websites that on visits to look for any kind of vulnerability. If threats are found on a given site then the internet security is invoked to protect the threat from being downloaded to the computer.

How to install antivirus software

We have a good number of antivirus software from which we can choose the ones to install. When choosing such software, we should look for one that has internet security so that browsing is safe. The process of installing is as follows, open the folder in which the antivirus setup is located and run it by double clicking or touching it for touch devices.

Some may require activation keys while others don’t. For those that require, look for one in that same folder and provide it. Follow the instructions until the process is finished. Often, one needs to be updating the antivirus definitions so that it’s always ready to deal with the virus when they come.

Microsoft windows installation

Microsoft windows software is an operating system that acts as an intermediary between the software installed and the underlying hardware. Actually an operating system is like a link that makes hardware help in performing tasks that software programs were meant for. For instance, it coordinates a modem to be used by the browser to access the internet.

Normally, windows software is the first program to be installed on a computer. After installing operating system the next program to install is antivirus software to enhance top security for the computer. It is feared that if any other program is installed or any file opened before installing antivirus, they may infect the computer.

After this, other software can now be installed on the operating system. When such systems are installed the computer is ready for use for various purposes, it can easily browse, and get data from external devices without any worry.

Microsoft windows software is the basis of computer operation. In other words when booting a computer, it is the windows that loads first before other programs like the Antivirus software internet security which allow for proper browsing without worrying about the security threats from the internet.
