Once you have the virus scanner software, are you completely immune to virus attacks? [br]

The answer to that is no. The reason is because there are well over 200 new viruses and Trojans that come out every week. This is a concern for many users. The best way to deal with this situation is to either buy an antivirus program that will update itself automatically everyday, or remember to update your virus definition files once a week. This way you can be protected from the newest viruses that are released. [br][br]If you purchase an antivirus program like Norton Antivirus, McAFee Viruscan, or Trend Micro, you won't have to worry about updating that software manually. The program updates itself automatically. As soon as you log onto the Internet, the software recognizes the connection, since it monitors all communications, and begins the process of contacting the server of the company where you purchased the software. Once it makes the connection, it begins downloading the file. After the file is downloaded, it installs after which you must restart your computer for the new updates to take affect. [br][br]
