As we know virus protection software is a code written by one of the programing languages that we know. This code works as a search engine looking for infected files in the entire system or specific locations on the system. The idea depends on two important factors which are, search engine and viruses’ data base. The following scenario explains how people get viruses and how virus protection software works.

Computer viruses are minute program which is “embedded inside an application or within a data file which can copy itself into another program“(Adams et al, 2008 ) for the sole determination of meddling with normal computer operations. The consequences may range from corruption and deletion of data; propagation of virus on to network and deployment through attachments through emails in order to further creating havoc to all associated computing devices.
A computer virus is Program or a portion of the codes that enter into the computer to target vandalism and characterized by their ability to copy itself to many copies and their ability to move from place to place and from computer to computer, disappearances and contents cover.
