When a computer virus infects a computer, it must make changes to files on your computer, critical areas like the Registry, or sections of memory to spread or damage the computer. An antivirus program protects a computer by monitoring all file changes and the memory for specific virus activity patterns. When these known or suspicious patterns are detected, the antivirus warns the user about the action before they are performed. Below is a list of the different forms of virus detection an antivirus can use to protect your computer.

If your computer is infected with avirus, formatting or erasing the harddrive and starting over will almost always remove any virus. However, keep in mind if backups of your computer have been made that contain a virus, your computer can be re-infected if not protected by anantivirus program
