What Is The Purpose Of Having An Anti-virus Program On Your PC?

I don't know anything about ant-virus programs and was wondering if anyone could give me any information about them. I heard somewhere, that some virus programs have spyware. Would that be a problem?

    Anti-virus software will keep your PC protected against worms, viruses, Trojan horses, and other unauthorized programs and soft-wares. This software is only useful if it is updated regularly.

      The anti virus software if ran properly will scan for viruses that could hurt your computer.

      Thank you for the info, I heard something about spyware in some of the av programs. I'm not very good at asking questions. I'm going to edit and add that to my question. Let me know if you have heard anything like this, please, and would that make a difference in the way your PC performs? Which program do you prefer?
