Question

anti-virus software protects against ______.

a. contagious diseases

Anti - virus software is designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software (malware) like viruses, worms, trojans, etc. Contagious diseases are medical issues, anti - virus software doesn't fix document errors, and it doesn't protect against new programs (unless the new programs are malicious). So the correct answer is C.
