Free Virus Scan

There are many websites claiming to offer a Free Virus Scan however most of them are designed to offeronly virus scans but fall short of protecting your computer from viruses themselves. Most Free Virus Scans work by providing a freeware software download. This download will scan your computer files and compare them against a list of know viruses (or virus definitions) to find a positive match.

The outcomes of the virus scan will reveal any known viruses or suspicious files including malware, spyware, adware, worms and trojans. Once the results of the Free Virus Scan are revealed, you will usually be offered the opportunity to purchase the 'full' software program. This will unlock all the features of the antivirus software and allow you to quarantine and remove the computer viruses.

A Free Virus Scan will check your computer for virus programs and detect the presence of viruses on your computer. A good Free Virus Scan will run in the background and provide detailed results of all the viruses or suspicious files on your computer. What a Free Virus Scan does NOT do is to allow you to remove or quarantine malicious files. To remove and prevent viruses, you usually need to purchase the full antivirus software which will unlock the advanced antivirus features.
