Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
virus protection software
also called virus scan software and vaccine, utility soft-ware installed on a computer designed to locate, identify, and eliminate vi-ruses. Each time a computer is booted the virus scan searches the system for viruses and destroys them. No vaccine is 100 percent guaranteed effective be-cause new viruses are being created all the time. Many virus protection pro-grams offer periodic updates for free. McAfee and Norton Utilities are popular software makers offering virus protection software.
