If you are anything like me, you may not know what Anti-Malware is, Or even what Malware is. To be honest Malware is something I have heard of but am not familiar with. So let's learn about this together. In this site we will learn what Malware is and what Anti-Malware is as well. At the end of our journey we will be well schooled in this part of the computer world.

First let's discuss what Malware or Malicious content is. Malware comes from the words Malicious and Software. The software is designed to penetrate and damage your computer's mother board and destroy all your important information that you have stored in it. Say you receive an email and when you open it up you have to download something. So you do and BAM! Malware! It has been installed in your system and will cause it to crash in which, all your pictures, personal documents, and anything else important to you is now ruined. And could possibly be open to being hacked.

So having all that personal information like your taxes from last year, any bank statements, your password could be subject to being stolen because of this software that has taken over your system. Malware is a computer virus, it can be just one virus that can easily be prevented. It can also come in the form of multiple viruses, worms, trojan horses, adware, spyware and so on. Not to be confused with defective software, which is software that has a legit purpose but has bugs. Viruses and such are sent on purpose they are meant to do harm to ones systems.

Well anti-malware is something that blocks or keeps the viruses and malware from attacking your computer systems. They will provide real-time protection against the installation of Malware software onto your computer. You can also use the software for detection and removal of malware. You can set it up to scan every 10 minutes or less to kind of babysit your computer whether you are on it or not. But always make sure you shut your computer down when you are done.
