    Antivirus protection scans your files and your incoming


    email for viruses, and then deletes anything malicious. You
    must keep your antivirus software updated to cope with the
    latest "bugs" circulating the internet. Most antivirus
    software includes a feature to download updates
    automatically when you are online.
