Antivirus program

A program that monitors a computer or network to identify all major types of malware and prevent or contain malware incidents.An antivirus program is designed to protect your computer from virus infections. Since most viruses are designed to run in the background, most users do not know when their computer is infected. Virus protection programs serve to search for, detect, and remove these viruses. Antivirus programs must be kept up-to-date in order for them to be able to detect new viruses.
