Antivirus software (sometimes spelled Anti-Virus or anti-virus with the hyphen) are computer programs that attempt to identify, neutralize or eliminate malicious software. The term "antivirus" is used because the earliest examples were designed exclusively to combat computer viruses. The brand name for AVG Technologies' Security Software is AVG, which comes from their first product, Anti-Virus Guard.On November 6, 2006, Microsoft announced that AVG Security products would be available directly from the Windows Security Center in Windows Vista.Since June 7, 2006, the AVG software has also been used as an optional component of GFI Mail Security, produced by GFI Software.
