Antivirus software have come a long way since their beginnings in 1987, when efficient removal of viruses was a luxury. Nowadays, the average antivirus software goes far and beyond simply removing infected files from a device and protecting it, the products have evolved into more of a complete security suite as other dangers to PCs were discovered. As a minimum, antivirus software should be able to scan a computer, detect infections and remove them. If the program doesn’t achieve that at least, it’s not an antivirus! Antivirus software today is capable of much more, allowing you to further protect your digital world in many different ways.
