1. Virus FAQ
Thousands of new viruses, trojans, and worms are created every day. Sometimes, even the best anti-virus software in the world can't protect your computer from being infected. Here are some of the most common ways this can happen.
- Clicking on an intriguing pop-up ad which contains a trojan
- Opening a malicious email attachment
- Downloading a virus from a file-sharing program such as LimeWire
- Your PremiumAV software was not updated with the latest virus definitions
- Your system was infected with malware before PremiumAV Antivirus was installed
Once you have a virus on your
computer, it may attack PremiumAV Software and prevent it from working
properly; in these cases, the virus must be removed manually. PremiumAV

for you. If you feel comfortable editing your Windows System Registry,

With thousands of threats being generated every day, many of which are unique, one-of-a-kind threats that are served up to uniquely infect your particular system, it is possible that you have come into contact with a threat PremiumAV does not yet recognize. In addition, some malware is designed specifically to disable PremiumAV's antivirus software. Trojans and worms can be very difficult to fix because they contain no clean code which PremiumAV can't repair automatically; instead, they have to be manually removed.
PremiumAV handles several thousand new threat alerts every month and updates its software as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Since every software vendor processes threats on its own schedule, occasionally another anti-virus product can detect a threat before PremiumAV can. Likewise, PremiumAV's software often recognizes threats ahead of other products.
2. Antivirus FAQ
PremiumAV antivirus programs is extremely low maintenance option, requiring very little interaction from you in order to continue working effectively.
Assuming you’ve set it up correctly, the only tasks you should engage in on a regular basis are:
- Checking the status of the antivirus program daily – PremiumAV offers red-color scheme to alert you to any issues. If the program says System is Secured then all is good. Otherwise, if it says System Is At Risk delve deeper to learn what the problem is and then rectify it.
- Manually run an in-depth scan on a regular basis, maybe once a week, or use the functionality of the antivirus program itself to schedule a detailed scan, perhaps at a time when you are away from the machine.
- Checking that the program is fully up to date. This should happen automatically but we would advise confirming that all updates have been downloaded and installed from time to time.
It is also worth leaving a note somewhere prominent to remind you when your subscription runs out so that you never find yourself in the position of not having a valid license.
For the most part, antivirus programs rely on databases of virus signatures to identify malicious code on your computer. Even though these are now largely stored in the cloud rather than on your hard drive, they are still vendor specific for the most part. Thus, one company may have identified a threat that another has missed. The chances of a reputable company not having a signature for a new piece of malware for any length of time is slim but it does happen in the short-term.
Absolutely, yes.
Although there are always exceptions to the rules, two antivirus
programs should typically never meet up on the same system – they don’t
play nicely together and may even detect each other’s database of virus
signatures as a threat.
The answer, therefore, is to always delete one antivirus program before installing another.
It’s just good practice.
