# Antivirus

This tab, named `Antivirus` and visible in a `Computer` entry, allows to manage the antivirus running on a computer.

An antivirus is characterized by:

* Name
* Automatic inventory
* Manufacturer
* Antivirus version
* Signature database version
* Active/non active
* Update to date
* Expiration date

{% hint style="info" %}
Every deletion or addition of an antivirus is recorded in the history of the computer.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If using native inventory or third-party inventory tool, the antivirus information can be automatically imported and updated.
{% endhint %}

## Add an antivirus

* Click on **Add an antivirus**
* Enter the information of the antivirus
* If the [manufacturer](/athome-docs/tabs/common_fields/manufacturer.md) does not exist, you can add one

{% hint style="info" %}
**expiration date** is for administrative purposes only, to find out the antivirus expiry date.
{% endhint %}

## Delete an antivirus

To delete an antivirus, you just need to click on **Delete permanently**

{% hint style="info" %}
If the antivirus is still present on the workstation, it will be brought up during the next automatic inventory. You will also have to delete it on the workstation in question.
