Contained in this section are links to FREE
Anti-Virus, Spyware Removal and Personal Firewalls.
You may have come in contact with individuals who say" I don't run anti-virus and I have never gotten a virus ". All I can say is that these individuals are playing russian-roulette with the data on their own computer and putting others at risk. You may not know you have a virus and it will happily be contacting everyone on your mailing list and sending copies of itself to those people without your knowing it.
As a technician I see first hand the damage caused by virus infections. Problems ranging from simply not being able to connect to the Internet to Hard drive failure. Imagine having pictures stored on your computer from numerous vacations, pictures of sons , daughters or grandchildren which you have neglected to put into hard copy wiped out and are not recoverable. How would you feel?
Not to mention the expense of purchasing a computer these days and the added fee of Internet connections you may also be at risk in hardware damage which can also prove costly.
The solution is simple, Educate yourself with help available online or from someplace as common as the Library and take advantage of free programs to keep your data, your computer and your money in your pocket safe. The old line " An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure" can be applied even in today's enviroment.
I have tried most of the software available in this web site and find them easy to use, easy to get and best of all FREE. Follow instructions as they are generated when installing and you will not have any problems.
Remember the most important thing is to update to keep current, use the software or it will just be taking up space and that won't protect you at all.
