What does antivirus and antispyware software protect against?
Antivirus software is designed to protect you and your business from common
threats and malicious software (malware) including:
Viruses - These are pieces of software often disguised as `harmless' files. They
can be spread via email, websites, over the internet or through things like USB
drives
Worms - These are a variant of a virus, often spread via websites and can take
over your computer and do things like sending spam email, without your
knowledge
Trojans - Trojans (as in Trojan horse) are often hidden inside other files such as
images, music or video. They often install malicious software such as spyware
and keyloggers on a computer
Adware - Although not normally as unpleasant as viruses, spyware can install
advertising and other unwanted software on your computer

The main types of online security software
Security software can be broadly split into several types which are:
Antivirus Software - Designed to protect your computer and data from
malicious software
Antispyware Software - Designed to remove advertising software and other
unwanted advertising installations from your computer
Firewall Software - Designed to hide and protect your computer from
unwanted intruders
Password Management Software - Designed to allow you to create and store
unique and secure passwords
What can malware do to your computer and business?
Malware can cause a great deal of damage to your computer and your business:
Corrupt your data, software and operating system - Some malware can
damage, delete and alter data, software and other items stored on your
computer
Steal your data and personal details - Malware such as keyloggers and Trojans
can track what you are doing on your computer and steal information such as
logins and password details, leading to identity or other theft
Turn over control of your computer to someone else - Often known as a
`zombie' or `botnet', some infected computers can be used for other malicious
purposes such as sending spam email or carrying out attacks on websites
Installing other software - Many viruses will install other malicious software,
redirect your internet connections and perform other nasty tasks
