What happens without antivirus?

So much of our businesses and lives are stored digitally, if you don’t protect this with a reliable anti-virus you could pay heavily for it in the future.

Some viruses are created to harm your computer by damaging or deleting programs and files. They may reformat the hard drive. Even the tame ones can sap your memory and cause frequent crashes.
