Hello!
The basic principle on which most anti virus softwares work remain the same with a minor differences. An antivirus software checks your computer's files for specific patterns that might indicate the presence of a virus infection. Based on the signatures or patterns of known viruses, the software is able to detect if your computer is infected.
To counter this technique, virus authors release new and updated viruses that your antivirus might not *be able to detect as its library doesn't have the latest patterns. That's why its very important to keep updating your antivirus software frequently and regularly scan your computer
Automatic scans - Based on what software you select, you will be capable to set up *it mechanically scan specific files or directories and prompt you at set intervals to perform complete scans. :drunk:
