AntiVirus, Spyware, Malware, Badware..??

Virus???

Lets get into subject of threats. I know many will be confused on which security application to download or buy to protect the computer completely. Most of them need one such application which will defend their computer from any kind of virus,spyware,trojans,worms or any kind of badware. And we all need it for free??? First please understand that viruses are into market for some serious business for the Anti-virus companies. So only if you are ready to purchase some real good antivirus your computer will be protected to the best.

How to choose the best antivirus for your computer?

Now before buying or downloading any kind of antivirus from the market do a complete research on the product. All you must know that read the requirements of the product. see whether your computer will support that product. I have seen people buying the products by just reading the reviews. Yes the product may be rated 9/10 but will that product support your computer. The product reviews are done on a very good systems. Is your system equipped?? Before you buy the latest antivirus see to that your computer is updated to a reasonably good configuration. If you cannot update your computer to the latest antivirus in market then its better to stick to some old versions of the antivirus which will run good on your system.

Using the Antivirus

If you have bought a good antivirus for your computer then before installing the product see to that you uninstall the previous antivirus which is installed in your computer. Installing more than one antivirus in your computer will slow down to your computer a lot. Most of the latest antivirus come with internet security and spyware removal too. Do a complete scan on your computer atleast once a week. Do not use your computer when the scan is running. See to that you scan any kind of external storage device before opening it. If the antivirus is not able to clean the virus it will show you the report that it was failed to remove the particular virus. Copy the report and send it to the particular product technical support team. The technical support team will find a solution and send you a update as soon as possible. Keep updating your antivirus daily.

Piracy of Antivirus?

Many download pirated antivirus from the torrents all around. Its not as easy as you guys think. Downloading torrents from the internet where you might think you are downloading the best antivirus for free of cost. Most of the torrents are already uploaded with trojans. When you download the antivirus and run the setup you will be affected with the trojan. Now you dont know whom to trust. Never trust the pirated copies of antivirus. Its better to go for a free antivirus which are available on the internet than downloading the pirated antivirus which is going to crash your computer completely. Most of the hackers will steal your data in your computer by placing a trojan in your computer. So never trust any pirated copies. Be true to your self . Buy Original.


Suggestions for Free Antivirus.

There are so many free and good antivirus in the internet like AVG,AVAST,AVIRA,PANDA etc., I have used these antivirus application. I have to say that each application is good in its own way. They do not promise you complete protection of your computer but they atleast let you know what they do. The transparency of the free products are good. If the antivirus is not able to remove any kind of virus or trojan from your computer it will let you know that your computer is affected with this kind of virus and it was not able to remove it. Now after you see that you should know that your computer needs some protection then find a good antivirus to delete it or in few free antivirus products they have paid products which will remove the viruses which were detected in free versions. So thats what you call it as business. Now atleast you will know what is happening with your computer.


Paid Antivirus?

I dont want to give any suggestions on this here. Most of the real equipped antivirus like Mcafee, Webroot Antivirus, Norton360, k.i.s 2009, Eset nod 32, Bit defender ,F-Secure Anti-Virus, AVG Paid etc., are good on their own features but see to that your computer supports with the requirements needed. If you buy these kind of antivirus you will definitely get the support for it. So if there is any virus problem with your computer then the technical support team will takecare of your virus issue and will help you the best. So i think these kind of anti virus are the best to go with. You can find the top 10 anti-virus here.
