 Introduction
The progression of Information Technology (IT) tools has been characterized by
notable advancements that have fundamentally altered how individuals and entities
handle, analyze, and convey information. With this evolution different IT tools merge in
helping individuals and entities such as businesses to maximize their competitive edge.
Businesses use IT tools to aid in optimizing the operational landscape of businesses,
resulting in enhanced efficiency, better decision-making, and ultimately, heightened
profitability.
The introduction of different IT tools in business made it accessible to store
information about the business, however if the information is not secured and was used
maliciously it can lead to the downfall of the business, this led businesses to use Data
Security as a premeasure to safeguard valuable assets.
Data security involves safeguarding corporate data and averting unauthorized
access to prevent data loss. This encompasses shielding data from threats capable of
encrypting or damaging it, like ransomware, as well as threats capable of altering or
compromising its integrity. Data security is important to businesses because it involves
the implementation of measures to safeguard digital information from unauthorized
access, corruption, or theft throughout its complete lifecycle. This concept covers
various facets of information security, ranging from the physical protection of hardware
and storage devices to administrative and access controls, along with the logical
security of software applications. It also encompasses organizational policies and
procedures.
With the increasing risks of cyber threats and incidents of data breaches, it is
imperative for businesses to implement measures protecting sensitive data from
unauthorized access and theft. There exist diverse data security technologies designed
to aid in this effort, each with unique functions and applications. These include Firewalls,
Encryption, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS), Security Information
and Event Management (SIEM), File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), secure Email Gateways,
Antivirus and Anti-Malware Software, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Multi-Factor
Authentication (MFA), and Access Control Systems.
Anti-virus software stands out as a widely utilized data security measure. It is a
security application, also recognized as antivirus programs, crafted to prevent, detect,
scan, and eliminate viruses and various forms of malware across computers, networks,
and other devices. Typically, part of comprehensive security suites, this software is
available independently as a standalone solution. It is commonly installed on computers
to mitigate potential cyber threats.
 The key benefit of antivirus software is its capacity to protect against harmful
viruses, such as malware and spyware. It guarantees system security by automatically
blocking pop-ups and spam from malicious websites, while also restricting access to
these detrimental sites. Acting as a real-time shield, antivirus software conducts scans
on all incoming files and programs. In the event a file is quarantined, it is segregated
from the rest of the system and its programs, thereby minimizing the risk of potential
damage.
Each business functions within its own distinct environment, characterized by
unique dynamics and requirements. In choosing antivirus software there are different
software choices available, such as Norton, McAfee, Bitdefender, and Total AV, each
providing a range of features and capabilities. It is essential to acknowledge that the
effectiveness of antivirus software can vary and choosing the most appropriate option
hinges on individual needs, system specifications, and personal preferences.

Review of Related Literature

In today’s digital world, there are growing threats in every business, regardless of
its size, is a potential target of cyber-attack. Every company has valuable data, such as
finances and sensitive data, which malicious individuals may seek to misuse. These
assets can range from tangible items like money to confidential records and innovative
concepts. Understanding the typical reasons for cyber-attacks can help you gain insight
into the potential risks you might encounter and determine the most effective ways to
address them. It’s typically occurred due to criminals seeking access to a range of
valuable assets, including a business's financial information, customer financial details
such as credit card data, sensitive personal data, email addresses and login credentials
of customers or staff, customer databases, client lists, IT infrastructure, IT services such
as the ability to accept online payments, and intellectual property like trade secrets or
product designs.
The common issues related to cyber-attacks encompass a wide range of threats
that can have severe implications for individuals and organizations. Data breaches,
which involve unauthorized access to sensitive information, are a prevalent concern.
Ransomware attacks, where cybercriminals encrypt data and demand payment for its
release, pose a significant risk to businesses and individuals. Phishing attempts, which
involve fraudulent emails or messages aimed at obtaining sensitive information, are
another widespread issue. Additionally, malware infections, such as viruses, worms, and
trojans, can compromise the security of computer systems and networks. DDoS
(Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, which overwhelm a system with traffic, leading to
service disruption, are also a common threat. Insider threats, posed by individuals within
an organization, can also result in data breaches and other security incidents. These
cyber-attack issues can lead to substantial financial losses, reputational damage, and
compromised data security. Organizations and individuals must remain vigilant and
implement robust cybersecurity measures to mitigate these risks. This includes
investing in cybersecurity tools and technologies, providing comprehensive training to
employees to recognize and respond to cyber threats, and establishing incident
response plans to address potential security breaches. Additionally, staying informed
about emerging cyber threats and adhering to best practices for data protection and
network security is crucial in safeguarding against these common cyber-attack issues.
Due to innovation of technology today, it has become part of our lives. Even
though computers help our lives to be better, there are still threats and challenges that
are constantly changing from time to time. So, the Anti Viruses software is created. The
purpose of antivirus software, often known as antivirus programs, is to safeguard
computers, networks, and other devices against viruses and other malicious software by
preventing, detecting, and eliminating them. According to Yasar (2023), the "Antivirus
Software Market" refers to the global industry involved in the development and
distribution of software programs designed to protect computer systems from malicious
software and cyber threats. Antivirus software detects, prevents, and removes malware,
viruses, ransomware, and other cybersecurity risks. It plays a critical role in
safeguarding personal and business data, ensuring system security, and maintaining
the integrity of digital environments. The market offers a variety of antivirus software
solutions, including standalone applications, integrated security suites, and cloud-based
offerings. Key players in the market continually innovate to keep up with evolving cyber
threats, providing enhanced features such as real-time scanning, behavioral analysis,
and machine learning algorithms. The Antivirus Software Market is driven by the
increasing frequency and complexity of cyber-attacks, growing awareness about data
security, and the rising adoption of digital technologies across industries. With the
ongoing need for robust cybersecurity measures, the market is expected to witness
significant growth in It detects any potential virus and then works to remove it. It also
blocks spam and ads. Also helps to protect potential hackers and data thieves.
According to Townsend (2019), Anti-Virus Software can often interfere with
updates, either by preventing them, or harboring them incomplete. Therefore, people
often must disable their software while updating their system, firmware, or programs.
One example is Steam, a video game distribution program, stating on their website that
“some malware tools may interfere with Steam”, and urging users to make educated
exceptions to allow Steam to run normally. In recent years, there has an advance of
malware and viruses as the anti-viruses keep innovating. As cyber threats become more
sophisticated, antivirus software may struggle to detect. The rise of ransomware attacks
poses a significant challenge, as these malicious programs can encrypt user data,
demanding payment for decryption keys. Antivirus solutions may not always catch new
variants quickly enough. Malware creators employ evasion techniques to avoid
detection by traditional antivirus programs. According to the users Some antivirus
solutions can be resource-intensive, impacting system performance and slowing down
devices, especially on older hardware.
According to Choo, K.R. & Walls, J. (2017) Android devices becoming
increasingly popular and the number of malware apps targeting them, it is important to
ensure the security and privacy of user data and to prevent the device from being
compromised. We study safety hazards and vulnerabilities related to Android in this
section, as well as perform a systematic assessment of 15 common free antimalware
applications using 11 recognized malware samples gathered from the Contagio Mobile
Malware Mini Dump database between Feb. 27, 2014, and Aug. 3, 2014. The
assessment generated outcomes that varied considerably across all three Android
operating systems and hardware test devices by conducting a manual experiment to
replicate potential daily threats to unknowingly install malicious applications.
In the past year the Philippines experienced a series of cyberattacks in
government websites and private organizations. These extensive data breaches have
posed threats to national security, compromising the personal information of millions of
citizens.
Finland-based web security organization F-Secure has discovered a malware
focusing on the secret data of government and private associations, including the
Philippines' Department of Justice. The coordinators of the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) Summit held in Manila last November and an anonymous
unmistakable worldwide law office, which spoke to Philippines during the mediation
case, were not saved from the digital security assault, as per reported by CNN
Philippines’ reporters Gotlinga & Tan (2016) on suspected Chinese Spyware used to
attack the Philippines government. Malicious software and viruses are as common as
ever, which is why it is as essential as ever to have antivirus software. But as safety
specialists like to call it the "threat landscape" is evolving. And that implies your strategy,
and your information should also develop to protect your identity. It may not be enough
to have antivirus alone. Antivirus softwares should also be updated and improve its
features. (Symanovich, 2019)
