Most AV and NGAV software has many parts. The most traditional part is the file scanning engine which can detect a file that is
a known malware. It can also detect malware similar to malicious programs that are already known. This is the part which was
called “antivirus” even 25 years ago. It scans all new files on your storage and ensures that no file can run if it has not been
scanned.
Most new security products, however, have other parts. These parts integrate into different applications and components of
software that you use and provide you with additional layers of protection. For example, most security software can protect
Internet browsers and email programs.
