How does an antivirus scan work?

An antivirus scan is a part of the antivirus software that scans the hard drive for viruses and other malware. The scanning methods might be manual or automatic. The malware scanner scans each individual file in a drive and removes viruses. They rely on a virus database and need to be updated over time. A robust virus scan tracks down viruses, worms, Trojans, Spyware, and rootkit.

Antivirus Malware Scan

Malware Scan is deep scanning the computer to prevent malware infection in it. Malware is a software threat to the computer. It usually is installed via a fake download, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Pop-ups, phishing email, or an infected attachment. Antivirus malware protects the computer and files against all types of malware. The anti-malware analyzes the file and collects the file code. It is then sent to a database containing the virus signatures.

Deep scan antivirus

A deep scan also called a full scan, examines every bit of your computer’s RAM, hard drives, and removable drives. The startup programs and the Windows registry are also scanned for detecting traces of malware. A deep scan can fix a virus or rootkit lurking anywhere on your hard drive, external drive, flash drive, or on a CD/DVD.


Do Mac Computers need Antivirus?

Apple computers are much less targeted for cybercrimes than their Windows counterparts. With the risks on the rise, you need protection for Mac systems as well. The macOS is based on Unix which is sandboxed, meaning viruses are locked in very small boxes from which they can’t escape. Yet, there are anti-virus programs to detect Mac-specific threats. Some common malware threats targeting mac are adware, Pharming attack, malvertising, and multi-layer ransomware attack. A Mac Antivirus scan includes multi-layer ransomware protection and tools to remove it.
