Antivirus software
Even if the antivirus software gives good detection rates, there’s no way the software can keep track of the new viruses coming up every day. The only way to be up-todate is by regularly installing updates to the signature or virus definition file. The software normally allows for automatic updation of files or you can download the updates from the Net. Earlier,while updating the definition files, you had to manually stop the auto-protect feature, copy the definition files to the directory where the software is installed, and then restart the machine. Now, you can dispense with this manual process. The antivirus program updates the file on its own without even asking for a restart.
