How exactly does an Anti-Virus software work?

-
An anti-virus software program is a computer program that can be used to scan files to identify and eliminate computer viruses and other malicious software (malware).
Anti-virus software typically uses two different techniques to accomplish this:
Examining files to look for known viruses by means of a virus dictionary .
Identifying suspicious behavior from any computer program which might indicate infection.
Features of Antivirus Software
  • Background Scanning:
Antivirus software scans all the files that you open from the back-end; this is also termed as on access scanning.
  • Full System Scans:
This is done to make sure that there are no viruses present hidden on your system. Full system scans are also useful when you repair your infected computer.
  • Virus Definitions:
Antivirus software depends on the virus definitions to identify malware. That is the reason it updates on the new viruses definitions.

Pros and cons of using a VPN

-
​ ( This Question Is Asked By Many Peoples Also) The benefit of using a secure VPN is it ensures the appropriate level of security to the connected systems when the underlying network infrastructure alone cannot provide it. The justification for using VPN access instead of a private network usually boils down to cost and feasibility: It is either not feasible to have a private network — e.g., for a traveling sales rep — or it is too costly to do so. VPN performance can be affected by a variety of factors, among them the speed of users’ internet connections, the types of protocols an internet service provider may use and the type of encryption the VPN uses.
