No antivirus gives 100 percent protection against viruses. As a rule, the developers try to consider the protection system so that, with any suspicion of viral activity, the antivirus has triggered. However, not all viruses the program can notice and classify. This applies to new or updated old malicious programs.

This is very important because the lion's share of infections occurs precisely through the Internet. Ideally, the antivirus should have flexible settings so that the user can select the desired mode of operation and the operation of the system resources. If you wish, you should be able to disable certain functions, as well as decide on our own, what to take suspicious programs when antivirus detects.
