Antivirus Scan

Anyone can perform an antivirus scan on their computer in a few minutes. And, while this is fast and convenient, a scan is a temporary fix to your virus problem. Antivirus scans cannot protect your computer from attacks, they can only find and delete them.

Think of it like going for surgery after you've developed lung cancer from smoking. Wouldn't it be better to prevent the lung cancer in the first place? Of course it is. So bite the bullet and settle down with a good quality antivirus program.
