When thinking about antivirus actions there are a couple of ideas that come to mind. First, the actions antivirus software takes to protect computers. This is the most important job of the software. Detect the problem fix the problem. That is why people put antivirus software on a computer in the first place. If the software is old and outdated it probably isn’t doing its job. New threats are made everyday and hackers are getting better and better at getting personal information. Research should be done to see which antivirus software should be used in different applications.

Second, it is important to remember there are choices the user can make depending on the threat and where the threat was located. Some programs do the whole thing automatically (find the problem and solve the problem without any input) while others want the user to input what to do with the threat (solve or dismiss). Most software will notify the user of a threat and the severity of the threat. It isn’t always important to know the names of the cookies/spyware/viruses but knowing how big of a threat it is helps greatly. It is important to look at all the information given when antivirus action is taken.

Antivirus software is very important on a computer. It protects personal information and passwords as well as keeping the computer running well. There are many commercials out there now talking about slow computers have many harmful operations running at the same time resulting in poor performance. If antivirus actions are taken it will help with this problem. User functions are also important since antivirus software is only as good as the person using it. If threats are not dealt with then they can compound and let worse threats in without the user knowing. In the end let the antivirus software do its job and keep an eye out for new problems.
