DOES THE ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM RUN CONTINUOUSLY?
If you select a product that offers ‘real-time scanning’ then that means that malicious attackers, such as worms and viruses, will be automatically detected as they try to enter your system. This means you will be afforded protection from multiple sources of potential infection such as downloads from the web as well as email attachments. If an anti-virus product does not offer continuous scanning then there is a good chance it will detect threats after they have infected your system and, potentially, spread to your network or other devices.
