An antivirus is a program that is responsible for detecting, combating and eliminating computer viruses that are received on an electronic device. It is believed that being careful when surfing the net is enough to avoid viruses, however cyber-criminals have strategies to trick users, and steal their data, strategies that aren’t always obvious to discover.

Why it is recommended to have an antivirus?
- Malicious websites.
Although many websites are safe to use, there are some that appear to be harmless but, without notifying you, download unwanted files onto your computer that may be malicious. An antivirus will be sure to scan the file before it manages to open or install.
- Infected emails.
Emails can also bring unsafe files, and they can be found not only in spam emails. It’s important to check where the emails you read come from, especially if you click on links, files or share personal data.
- Data espionage.
Antivirus can also protect your computer from data espionage, as there are some options that detect spyware on web pages when personal information is shared.
