Every computer connected to the Internet is vulnerable to fraud and hacking. Everyday new viruses are discovered, hackers are continuously working to vandalise your computer, Spyware and Adware infect your computer if you are not well protected.
This leaves us at the mess of the software industry, it can be very expensive to protect your computer.
The good thing is, it is possible to get professional quality Antivirus, and other software to protect your computer.
Criminals use viruses, worms and Trojans to bug your computer and hack into your personal details, steal your important information and in some cases leave your computer completely messed up. If you are unfortunate you will end up paying a lot of money to get it fixed.
Well, during the past few days some people I know have had their computers infected by malware and Trojan viruses. The unfortunate thing is more damage had been done already on the computers.
Just thought I could share with you how I protect my computer for free.
It is important to make sure your computer is fully protected. The following is some of the important software that I use on my computer AVG Antivirus, ZoneAlarm Firewall and Windows Defender, there are also other software that you can use to protect your own computer. It is also important to ensure that your software is up to date.
Antivirus and other computer protection software can be very expensive. But you can also get it for FREE and completely legal if you know where to go.
I use AVG Antivirus, it’s FREE and it works well for me. You can get it here, www.free.grisoft.com. I also use Zone Alarm firewall which you can also download free at download.com and it’s also free.
If you search around on the Internet you can also find other good and free software to protect your computer and save yourself money.
