Antivirus and antispyware software are essential for protecting your computer and personal information from malicious threats. They help detect and remove viruses, malware, spyware, and other harmful programs that can compromise your system's security and privacy. By regularly updating and running these software, you can safeguard your data, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure a safer online experience.

To determine if your computer is infected with malicious software, you can look for the following signs:

1. Slow performance: If your computer is significantly slower than usual, it could be a sign of malware running in the background.
2. Unexpected pop-ups: If you are seeing frequent and intrusive pop-up ads, it may indicate the presence of adware or other malicious software.
3. Unusual behavior: If your computer is behaving strangely, such as crashing frequently, displaying error messages, or opening programs or files without your input, it could be a sign of malware.
4. High network activity: If your internet connection is unusually slow or you notice a significant increase in data usage, it could be due to malware sending or receiving data.
5. Disabled security software: If your antivirus or firewall software has been disabled or cannot be turned on, it may be a result of malware tampering with your security settings.

If you suspect that your computer is infected, it is recommended to run a full system scan using reputable antivirus or anti-malware software to detect and remove any malicious software.

If Trellix Endpoint Security detects malicious software or potentially unwanted software on your computer (either when monitoring your computer using real-time protection or after running a scan), it notifies you about the detected by displaying a notification message on your screen.

Alert levels help you choose how to respond to viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software. While Trellix Endpoint Security will recommend that you remove all viruses and spyware, not all software that is flagged is malicious or unwanted. The following information can help you decide what to do if Endpoint Security detects potentially unwanted software on your computer.

The most common challenge for endpoint security deployments is ensuring comprehensive coverage across all devices and endpoints within an organization's network. This includes managing and protecting a diverse range of devices, such as desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and IoT devices, while also addressing potential vulnerabilities and threats that may arise from remote work or bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies. Additionally, keeping endpoint security solutions up to date and effectively managing security policies and configurations can be a challenge.
