What is an Ideal Antivirus Protection?

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

The ideal antivirus software is a tool that will protect your system without you even realizing that there is a protection active or that you will even start to wonder whether your system is protected at all. This article is not really about what is an ideal antivirus software but it is an idea that I would like to expound on. That the internet experience of the average surfer have been marred with the existence of viruses, malwares and Trojans.

To overcome these threats, we have installed many security software which have often lead to a slowdown of the system and sometimes, these efforts are also futile. The ideal antivirus is a protection that should exist in the cloud. It should be omnipresent in all web servers that can detect the existence of any threats so that they can be eliminated once found, before the average surfer chances upon them and start inadvertently helping to spread the viruses or malwares.

Setting the standard for antivirus within web server architecture will revolutionize the way our systems have been protected to date, which is a slow and ineffective way of protection. Viruses spread by leveraging on the Internet's ability to multiply speedily when innocent users start spreading the virus without knowing it. What the ideal antivirus should do is to do likewise. Establish the antivirus standards within the web server architecture and then have it update its virus definition whenever any single web servers detected a new virus.

This will provide the protection online which will eliminate the need for any personal users to even install an antivirus tool. That way, we will even not know that an antivirus security is actually working to protect all our system. For antivirus to be ideal in protecting all our system, it must become more like the viruses it is fighting against.
