Selecting and Keeping Antivirus Software Updated

With your help, 成人大片 can minimize online threats.

Some cybersecurity threats can be thwarted by using antivirus software to protect your computer and mobile devices. Learn tips for selecting antivirus software and how antivirus software can work for you.

Choosing antivirus software that鈥檚 right for you

Antivirus software provided by your OS has limitations

While major operating system manufacturers provide free, built-in antivirus software like Windows Defender (Microsoft) or XProtect (Mac) on devices like computers, tablets and mobile phones, this software may not be enough to protect your devices from malware. The scope of pre-installed antivirus software is often limited so it's important that you purchase and install reputable third-party antivirus software to protect your devices.

Tips for selecting and using third-party antivirus software

When choosing third-party antivirus software, it鈥檚 important to:

Choose antivirus software from a reputable source. Be wary of free options from unknown sources as malicious actors can disguise malware as antivirus software.

Ensure the software is ad free and has important features like:

  • File scanning for malware
  • Virus quarantining and removal

Getting the most out of your antivirus software

Antivirus software protects you best when maintained properly. You can do this by:

  • making sure your antivirus software is current
  • setting your antivirus software to scan for viruses daily
  • allowing the software to automatically scan a large variety of files, including email attachments and online downloads
  • turning on automatic updates for your antivirus software

While not a concern for Google Drive, files shared on some third-party cloud applications can sometimes slip past antivirus software, leaving you vulnerable to virus infection. Where possible:

  • edit shared documents on the cloud drive instead of downloading the file to your device
  • notify a document owner immediately if they鈥檝e shared an infected file. Do not reach out to a document owner you don鈥檛 know.
  • use your judgement to determine if it鈥檚 necessary to notify document contributors as well, in case they鈥檝e downloaded the file to their devices
