Cada software antivirus tiene su propio método de respuesta cuando encuentra un virus, esta respuesta puede diferir si el software localiza el virus durante un escaneo automático o manual. La mayoría de las veces el software antivirus produce una ventana de alerta notificando que ha encontrado un virus y pregunta si se desea "limpiar" el archivo(remover el virus). En otros casos, el software antivirus simplemente borra el archivo, sin la necesidad de preguntar antes de hacerlo. 2, record 2, Spanish, - software%20antivirus
