What are viruses and anti virus?

Hi there,

Viruses are a kind of software program  written to create problem in computer and attain fame. Recently different kind of viruses have evolved to cheat people working on-line. Viruses are mostly written in assembly language and are memory resident. Anti-viruses are software that disables the effect of these viruses, cleans the memory and protect from further attacks from viruses. Anti-viruses can be downloaded from the internet.

There is always threats while using internet without proper protection. No there are legal procedures to prevent this kind of attacks. There is cyber police and cyber law but that does not deal with viruses.
