Anti-malware Products
PC users can choose from a wide and growing range of software products that protect against malicious software.

Because viruses were once the only type of malware that threatened PCs, these products are generally known as 'anti-virus' programs.

However, most products also detect and destroy worms and trojans, and are in effect anti-malware programs. A number of popular anti-malware products are listed in the tables below.
