“”A computer virus is a type of malicious software program (“malware“) that, when executed, replicates by reproducing itself (copying its own source code) or infecting other computer programs by modifying them.[1]Infecting computer programs can include as well, data files, or the “boot” sector of the hard drive. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be “infected” with a computer virus.[2][3][4] The term “virus” is also commonly, but erroneously, used to refer to other types of malware. “Malware” encompasses computer viruses along with many other forms of malicious software, such as computer “worms”, ransomware, trojan horses, keyloggers, rootkits, spyware, adware, malicious Browser Helper Object (BHOs) and other malicious software. The majority of active malware threats are actually trojan horse programs or computer worms rather than computer viruses. The term computer virus, coined by Fred Cohen in 1985, is a misnomer.[5]Viruses often perform some type of harmful activity on infected host computers, such as acquisition of hard disk space or central processing unit (CPU) time, accessing private information (e.g., credit card numbers), corrupting data, displaying political or humorous messages on the user’s screen, spamming their e-mail contacts, logging their keystrokes, or even rendering the computer useless. However, not all viruses carry a destructive “payload” or attempt to hide themselves—the defining characteristic of viruses is that they are self-replicating computer programs which install themselves without user consent.”

I use AVG Free on my home PC’s, you should check with your internet provider to see what security software they offer. in Oklahoma Cox Cable offers a free 3-PC license for it’s customers, I don’t use it because I don’t like the firewall program that’s built into the McAfee Anti-Virus suite. But you have to look out for AVG’s tricky packaging because you’ll end up installing the trial version instead of the free version.
