Virus protection does:

• Scans for inactive viruses
• Scans for old viruses
• Removes inactive viruses

Anti-viruses is useless, virus scanners cannot detect a virus that it is not aware exists. Virus definitions is a database or list of known viruses, in order for your computer to be protected, the company that maintains your anti-virus must first catch the virus and study it. Adding a new virus to the database can take days, during this time you are open to attack.

The first thing most new viruses do is disable your anti-virus so you cannot detect, remove or download updates. Once you’re infected the virus is free to carry out its function.

Real time protection is the closes thing you have for real virus protection, real time protection is a listener for all Internet and active data, in real time all your activities are monitored for protection.

Real time protection detects and removes the virus before it becomes active. When a virus becomes active the virus becomes almost impossible to remove, and once activated the virus has already carried out its function.

For the reasons anti-viruses only protects you from older viruses, constant scans and updates must be done regularly to catch an older virus before it becomes active, anti-viruses does not work.
