Keeping Your Computer Safe – Part 3

This part of Keeping Your Computer Safe is fairly simple, sorry, no pictures. I really just want to stress the importance of having Virus Protection and Spyware Removal, and also give my opinions on certain software.

As far as Virus Protection goes I like McAfee the best. I have tried Norton, also known as Symantec, but I have found that the software takes up more disk space and causes the computer to run slower. McAfee has many products that will protect your computer and they are very reliable.

For Spyware Removal, I recommend Ad-Aware. It is a free download, but you can purchase the upgrade to Pro or Plus for real time protection. As long as you are diligent in scanning your computer on a regular basis, the free version will work just fine. I scan my computer at least once a week.

So, there you have it. There’s not much to Virus Protection or Spyware Removal. You just have to make sure that you have some sort of reliable software to protect your computer. There are many more companies out there that you can obtain software from; I’ve only had personal experiences with the one’s I’ve mentioned above. They have worked very well for me and have protected my computer for several years. Just remember, you need to protect your computer!!!
