What is  css-dvp.sys

The css-dvp.sys process is a SYS driver component of the Command Antivirus software, which is a Windows program classified as a system security tool that was initially developed by Authentium before being acquired by Commtouch. The Command Antivirus software is embedded with a set of features for deploying cloud-based malware definition database updates into the Windows-based computer, and for implementing real time threat detection and file scanning functionalities into the system, which can block potentially malicious applications like viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware programs, backdoor rootkits and other malware items. This means the Command Antivirus software can protect the system against possible hacker attacks, data security threats, user privacy risks, system stability issues and data loss or corruption that may be caused by these malicious programs. The css-dvp.sys file is specifically placed in the system upon the installation of the Command Antivirus software as the driver file of the Dynamic Virus Protection application, which is a small built-in program that is responsible for assisting the Command Antivirus software in implementing its real time virus and malware threat detection and system monitoring functionalities into the Windows-based computer.
