What is virus protection?

Virus protection, also known as antivirus software, is a type of software designed to prevent, detect, and remove malicious software (malware) such as viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and ransomware. It works by scanning files and programs for known malware signatures, monitoring system behavior for suspicious activity, and isolating or removing infected files. It is commonly used to protect computers, servers, and mobile devices from cyber threats.
