listen

antimalware software often includes intrusion protection, which

classifies apps as risky or safe based on their attributes

monitors installed apps for suspicious activity

prevents threats from entering a computer from a network

alerts you to threats against your personal identifiable information

Explanation:

• First question: A software patch is a small piece of software that is intended to fix a problem, such as a security vulnerability, in an operating system or application. Upgrading to the latest release version is usually a more comprehensive update (not just a patch). Registering software version is unrelated to what a patch does. Surveying the system for vulnerabilities is the job of a scanner, not a patch.
• Second question: Intrusion protection in antimalware software is designed to prevent threats from entering a computer from a network. Classifying apps as risky or safe based on attributes is more about app reputation or analysis. Monitoring installed apps for suspicious activity is more like behavior - based detection. Alerting about threats to personal identifiable information is a different function, often related to data protection rather than intrusion prevention.

Answer:

• First question: fix a vulnerability in the program
• Second question: prevents threats from entering a computer from a network
