virus protection software

also called virus scan software and vaccine, utility soft-ware
installed on a computer designed to locate, identify, and eliminate vi-ruses.
Each time a computer is booted the virus scan searches the system for
viruses and destroys them. No vaccine is 100 percent guaranteed effective be-cause
new viruses are being created all the time. Many virus protection pro-grams
offer periodic updates for free. McAfee and Norton Utilities are popular
software makers offering virus protection software.
