Malware can allow an attacker to spy on what you are typing, webcam/microphone access, steal files saved there, and worst of all encrypt/destroy files on the system, or held hostage via ransomware.

UCI scans incoming email for viruses, but that doesn’t protect you from other computers connected to the network or from infected files that can be downloaded. Anti-malware (also known as anti-virus or AV) software is a critical layer of defense against a wide variety of threats to your computer.
