What Are the Different Types of Windows® Security Software?
Some people may argue that a computer running the Windows® operating system is more prone to malicious attacks than other operating systems. Hackers and thieves can use viruses, Trojans, spyware, and other malware to infiltrate and steal information from a person’s computer. To combat this, the Microsoft Corporation has developed security software designed to keep computers running Windows® operating systems safer. Some of the different types of Windows® security software are Windows® Firewall, Windows® Defender, the Malicious Software Removal Tool, and Windows Live® OneCare™. When buying or downloading these software products, care must be taken to ensure you are downloading an official version of the software as some people have developed rogue anti-malware software designed to look like the originals.
