Free Antivirus Protection
You need protection when cruising down the information highway. That’s why most computers come pre-loaded with software to help protect you! But when the subscription to that software runs out, you have a choice to make: Do I pay to keep that subscription up to date? Do I keep going with software that is getting farther and farther behind the times? Do I pay to subscribe to a new antivirus service? There is another alternative… FREE antivirus protection!
Witchy Tip: First, let me say that for computer novices I strongly recommend Mcaffee and Norton and other paid-for programs. They are specifically designed to be user-friendly and they update regularly and automatically. I personally use these for my own computers.
That being said, who can blame anyone for trying to save a little money where they can? There are many free antivirus programs which provide quality protection for your computer that is on par with big name antivirus programs.
If you would like to investigate free antivirus protection for your comptuer, I would recommend you review articles by PC Magazine and check out the reviews and downloads at Cnet’s DOWNLOAD.COM. Write down the names of two or three programs that interest you, then search the internet to see what people are saying.
When you have made your selection, go to that product’s website (or a respected download site, such as Download.com) and download and install the program onto your computer. If you have questions or problems, look around the product’s website for a FAQ (”Frequently Asked Questions”) page first. If your question or problem is not addressed there, contact the product’s support staff or join their forum if they have one!
Whether you choose paid or free antivirus protection for your computer, make sure that you update frequently! Use the program’s auto-update feature. This keeps your computer protected from the latest known virus problems on the internet.
