Online antivirus is a form of network antivirus that represents a new approach to computer anti-virus protection. It leverages the latest network technologies, combining the antivirus engine from antivirus software, allowing the server from an anti-virus company to conduct remote virus scanning and removal on a user's computer via the internet. Users do not need to purchase or install antivirus software, nor do they need to update it; they simply need an internet connection to easily remove viruses from their local computer. Online antivirus is built as antivirus software on a web page, with stable performance, fast virus detection and removal speed, and a small antivirus engine. Its operation and application are also very simple and convenient. However, it lacks real-time monitoring functionality. Online antivirus can directly scan and remove viruses from the local hard drive, while the virus database and virus engine updates require no user involvement, as they automatically stay completely synchronized with the latest version.
