antivirus block 100% of computer threats?
00:00:11
False.
00:00:11
Even the best antivirus does not block all threats.
00:00:15
Attacks constantly evolve,
00:00:16
and some,
00:00:17
like zero day threats,
00:00:18
are still unknown at the time they appear.
00:00:21
These unpatched vulnerabilities can be exploited before
00:00:23
the developers have had time to respond.
00:00:26
The antivirus is an important component,
00:00:28
but no solution is 100% perfect.
00:00:31
As long as my antivirus is active,
00:00:34
I can click without fear.
00:00:36
False.
00:00:37
An anti-virus does not replace caution.
00:00:40
It will not always detect a fake site,
00:00:42
a cleverly disguised link,
00:00:43
or a convincing phishing attempt.
00:00:45
And if you approve the installation yourself,
00:00:47
the antivirus can be bypassed.
00:00:49
It helps you,
00:00:50
but you are still the first line of defense.
00:00:54
My internet service provider offers me a security
00:00:57
solution for a few dollars per month.
00:00:59
Should I take it?
00:01:01
True and false,
00:01:03
Internet service providers often offer security solutions
00:01:06
in partnership with well-known publishers like Norton,
00:01:09
McAfee,
00:01:10
or BitDefender.
00:01:11
These offers may include several useful protections
00:01:14
antivirus,
00:01:15
parental controls,
00:01:16
VPN,
00:01:17
and multi-device protection.
00:01:19
But it is often difficult to assess their real quality as the technical details
00:01:22
are not transparent and they are not always the full version of the product.
00:01:26
They can be suitable if you don't already have a solution,
00:01:28
but beware,
00:01:29
you should never install multiple anti-virus programs at the same time.
00:01:33
This can cause conflicts and reduce your security level instead of improving it.
00:01:36
So no,
00:01:37
your antivirus doesn't block all viruses,
00:01:39
but when used properly,
00:01:41
it remains a valuable help in daily life.
