FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Can an SSD get a virus? Any device that stores data can theoretically have a malware infection like a virus, whether it’s a hard disk drive or an solid-state drive. Some dangerous malware, like a kernel rootkit can be quite challenging to remove.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some particularly bad viruses, including boot-sector viruses, can be so difficult to remove for a nonexpert that he may feel like the hard drive is a lost cause. But the fact is that while viruses can destroy the data stored on a hard drive, they cannot destroy the device itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anti virus is likely to load once then stay in memory, so putting your AV software there probably won’t offer much of a performance improvement other than helping Windows boot a bit faster. Your SSD is better used for your pagefile and TEMP folder, and any games.

Detailed explanation-4: -Antivirus is necessary even if you’re on a Mac or Windows device, which both come with some level of virus protection built in. For total protection with endpoint protection and response, and blocks against malware and potentially unwanted programs, it’s best to install a third-party antivirus software.
