We live in a world where everyone wants to get in and mess up your computer. You may not have anything of any value to you, but hackers will try their best to get in and mess up your computer, try to establish a virus type program, or may monitor your keystrokes to take advantage of your assets elsewhere. You must stay alert and proactive in protecting your computer.
Regularly I see people who spend hundreds of dollars a year in tools to protect their computer(s). Others are doing nothing and feeling very lucky. Again, you have to protect but how do you do that in the most cost effective way?
Did you know that you can get FREE versions of a firewall and virus protection for your computer? They may not have all the bells and whistles of the costlier versions of the same programs, but they offer the protection you need at home.
Check them out….
Firewall – Zonealarm
AntiVirus – AVG
Need more bells and whitles, you can upgrade from FREE!
I have used AVG on and off which is a good free option. Another one that I have used for quite a while is Avast and have had no trouble at all. It can be downloaded from http://www.avast.com . Have a great day!!
