Antivirus world – Introduction

Before knowing anything about the antivirus, knowing about virus is very important and that too computer virus, not the virus of related to our health. So, understanding the difference between virus and computer virus is necessary.
Virus: It is a living thing, too small to be seen without a microscope that causes infectious diseases in animals, humans and plants. For example- polio virus, rabies virus, etc.
Computer virus: They are instructions that are hidden within a computer program and are designed to cause faults or destroy data in a computer. The full form is Computer's Vital Information Resource Under Seized.
Thus, a vast difference can be seen between virus and computer virus and we are here referring virus as computer virus.
The term antivirus is usually referred as a computer term and thus it is a software or a set of programs that finds and destroys computer viruses.
