Professional computer security experts have estimated that the cost of attempting to remove malware from computer systems is far higher than the cost of preventing a successful malware attack.
Scanners are useful in discovering hidden malwares but everyday brings with it some new level of sophistication in this war against malicious software. Among the worst malwares is the one called root kit. This is because it is said that it usually loads on the system before the computer booting process gets completed. This makes it difficult for root kit to be easily discovered.
