Security Software Types

Anti – Virus
Antivirus software was developed to detect and remove computer viruses however with the creation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other threats such as keyloggers, backdoors, Trojan horses, worms and spyware.

Firewall
A firewall is a network security system that controls incoming and outgoing network traffic. A firewall establishes a barrier between a trusted and secure internal network and another outside network that is assume to not be secured or trusted.

Emergency Security Software

Not every antivirus program and firewall is foolproof. It’s inevitable that virus will slip through the cracks. It might even disable your main security software. Emergency Security software is there if something like this is to happen, for example something like Malwarebytes is a free download that you can use to scan for anything the antivirus might miss and it won’t conflict with your existing antivirus software.
