Best Answer

A program that runs in the 'background' that provides some level of protection for your computer against malicious code, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, etc. The level of protection provided varies base on what program you choose and how often you update it. (my personal recommendation: AVG Free Edition. It's free and MUCH better than McAffe and Symantic)
