<tool> Programs to detect and remove computer viruses. The
simplest kind scans executable files and boot blocks for a
list of known viruses. Others are constantly active,
attempting to detect the actions of general classes of
viruses. antivirus software should always include a regular
update service allowing it to keep up with the latest viruses
as they are released.
