Antivirus Modules Antivirus software is a type of utility software that looks for
and eradicates viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and bots– A virus signature is a section of program code, such as a
unique series of instructions, that can be used to identify a known malicious program, much as a fingerprint is used to identify an individual
– Virus signatures and other information that antivirus software uses to identify and eradicate malware is stored in one or more files usually referred to as virus definitions

Antivirus Modules Most experts recommend
that you configure your antivirus software to periodically scan all the files on your computer
If, during the scanning process, your virus protection software identifies a virus, worm, Trojan horse, or bot in a file or attachment, it can try to remove the infection, put the file into quarantine, or simply delete the file
