A virus is a malicious software that 'infects' a computer system, causing it to do undesirable things (like deleting files, dialing 1800 numbers on the modem or sending private data to remote parties over the internet). Anti-virus software detects and removes viruses. Viruses designed specifically for Windows account for the majority of computer slowdowns and a large number of computer crashes.
The effects of a virus are fairly varied, but usually involve sending more copies of itself to as many other computers as possible. They can be as malicious as completely trashing your computer, or they can send your private documents (credit card details access number) to complete strangers. More benign viruses can simply send copies of themselves to other computers.
Many competitors claim to block every single virus on the Internet - a noble feat, but difficult to be sure of, since viruses are being created and modified on a daily basis. Fighting viruses is a game of constant catch-up, and you need an excellent software team to work hard every day to add more virus definitions to their database. They might not get every virus, but they will work hard to catch them all! An excellent software should be scheduled to run checks periodically to ensure coverage, at whatever interval you please. You can even set it to run in the background, in order to catch any virus attacks while they're happening and shut them down before any damage occurs.
There are ways of combating computer viruses through free anti-virus programs. There are several free products available such as the Norton anti-virus, or the kaspersky anti-virus program or even the avg anti-virus. I have tried these products but their job is limited to protecting your computer. They still want you to buy the full version. It would be better to trust a product that has been tested by experts in the field of anti-virus removal products. Untested products can make your computer worse is the advice of this article.
