Viruses vs Anti-viruses

[hsr]

For every virus there is a virus definition but you won't find it in oxford.
just a topic to start about virus attacks and their removal.

VIRUS​

Definition:
A virus is a computer program that was written to purposely damage computer systems.
Explanation:
Your computer can get a virus from another computer, through modems, networks or disks. You can protect your computer from viruses by using virus protection software, and by only downloading programs from sources you trust

Anti-Virus
​

Definition: "antivirus" is protective software designed to defend your computer against malicious software. Malicious software, or "malware" includes: viruses, Trojans, keyloggers, hijackers, dialers, and other code that vandalizes or steals your computer contents. In order to be an effective defense, your antivirus software needs to run in the background at all times, and should be kept updated so it recognizes new versions of malicious software.
Also Known As: anti-virus, anti virus

Someone makes an OS full of holes while someone else tries to place a sentry/perimeter security at each one of them, and BOTH make a lot of money making you look like a donkey.

In a well-designed and maintained platform, there should be not need for anti-virus. Vulnerabilities must be patched as they are being exposed by viruses.

Viruses are great because they expose vulnerabilities. Anti-viruses are worthless. They should all be just patches to the underlying platform not separate software on their own.

Any antivirus can be bypassed. The best malware are not trojans, they are rootkits.

No Antivirus; perfectly alright for me. Never use pendrives directly; access files through a lot of care and often use Linux to bypass viruses; autoplay and clean pendrives.
