A computer virus is program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer, against your wishes and without you knowing it. Like viruses that affect humans, a computer virus can replicate itself and spread to other computers. Computer viruses can, again like viruses that affect humans, be present on your computer for while, before they become active. They can, for instance, be triggered by the date and time on your computer.
Not all viruses are equally dangerous. Some viruses merely replicate themselves, eating up memory and bandwidth on your system. More dangerous viruses destroy files on your computer, or randomly send e-mail messages from your Inbox to people in your address book. All computer viruses are man-made and can infect your system via e-mail or via a floppy disk that you got from your neighbor.
The Antivirus module included in Pioneer Complete provides world-class protection against computer viruses. It can automatically monitor all files on your computer and it will alert you when an infection is found. Infected files can be quarantined or Pioneer Complete Antivirus can try to remove the virus from the file. You can also scan any folder on your hard drive at any time you want.
