Get out of anti-virus software usage mistakes

With this look: http://www.bkjia.com/Article/200706/17634.html

There are two kinds of extremes about using anti-virus software to protect system security: one is that real-time monitoring of anti-virus software will occupy a large amount of system resources and affect the system running speed, therefore, no anti-virus software is installed in exchange for system performance. One is to take the computer security environment too seriously, therefore, we installed anti-virus software, firewalls, anti-trojan programs, and privacy protection programs into the system, lest the system be not well protected. However, it not only consumes a lot of system resources, but also affects the mood of computers. In fact, we can use anti-virus software with powerful functions and fewer system resources, and then set it properly. This ensures system security and resolves the conflict between excessive system resource occupation.
Select excellent anti-virus software

Powerful functionality and low resource usage have always been a conflict between anti-virus software and the taste of running without grazing. However, the current anti-virus software has taken into account these two points. For example, The KV series anti-virus software of Kaspersky and Jiangmin only occupy several hundred KB to several MB of system memory in most cases, such a small amount of system resource consumption is affordable for the vast majority of computers.

Set real-time monitoring properly

The existing network viruses are rampant and the security threats come from many aspects. Therefore, anti-virus software is required to have multiple real-time monitoring capabilities. Taking KV2006 as an example, its real-time monitoring includes seven items: file monitoring, email monitoring, privacy protection, Trojan/Registry monitoring, and Web page monitoring, if you open all of them, the resource consumption will naturally not be small. In general, file monitoring and Web page monitoring are essential. For projects like email monitoring, if you seldom send or receive emails or only send and receive emails in Web mode, you can close it completely. Other monitoring items can be selected based on your actual situation.

Optimize anti-virus speed

Today's hard disks are massive, and the amount of data stored is also very large. It takes a long time to scan anti-virus software (such as Kaspersky). This is why many people are reluctant to use anti-virus software. In fact, as long as we pay attention to the options of anti-virus software, we can find that the anti-virus speed can be improved.

In the KV "Jiangmin anti-virus software solution Editor", there is a "Scan target" tab. We can cancel the "decompress check" because the software checks the compressed package for a very long time. Even if there is a virus in the compressed package, the virus will not attack. When the virus is extracted, it will be detected by real-time monitoring and will not pose a threat to system security. Based on the same principle, we can also add some scanning exclusion file types in the "file filtering" option, such as ISO image files, MPG, AVI and other video files, MP3 and other audio files, JPG and other image files, which are counted in the computer, are less likely to be infected with viruses. With this setting, the scanning speed of anti-virus software will be greatly improved.

Select a proper time for Virus Detection

Anti-Virus is a time-consuming and laborious task for any anti-virus software. Many anti-virus software are relatively conservative in terms of security. By default, most of the anti-virus software is checked once a day. For ordinary users, this is indeed redundant. It is enough to check once a week. In addition, software such as KV2006 and Kingsoft drug overlord have the screen saver function for virus detection/we may wish to enable this function so that the software can automatically detect and kill viruses when the computer is idle. KV2006 also has the "Intelligent Speed-up" function. After enabling this function, it will take a lot of time to scan the virus for the first time, but it will greatly increase the scanning speed in the future, because anti-virus software automatically skips files that it deems will not be infected with viruses, the speed will naturally be faster.
