Unless your computer is not connected to the Internet, it's inevitable that at some point you will encounter malicious software of some kind. Malicious software can be disguised and distributed in a number of different ways and is becoming increasingly difficult for many applications to identify let alone protect against. Some applications claim to protect against the very latest online threats but many of these tools are bloated with useless tools when all that's needed is a functional, non obtrusive security application.
