. . Dont stress out! Get the protection you need today!

There are "free"
versions of anti virus programs and full versions. You might ask what the difference is between a free version and a full
version. A free anti virus program is like a stripped down version of that company’s flagship version. You don’t
have all the function and in many cases you don’t get the real time protection that can block a virus from getting on
your computer. I know you are thinking that the programs are getting better all the time but so are the
virus programs. From personal experience I can tell you that the percentage of computers that are brought to me to repair
for virus removal has increased dramatically. Right now it is especially bad. My best advice to those of
you with Average computer skills is to protect yourself as best you can. The money you save today could cost you ten times
as much down the road

I have tried many free
programs over the years and finally settled on two in particular. I have used AVG and Avira for years. Recently though, AVG
has emerged as my hands down favorite. Avira is still too manual and the update pop up is somewhat annoying, although
functionally speaking it is still effective. Have they let me down in the past, sure. I have been through all stages
of infection from a one run fix with my anti virus program to a full wipe, reformat, and reinstall of the operating system.
The latter will cost you time, effort, the loss of your computer function, and probably a few gray hairs too! You see, if
your computer becomes infected and you don’t address it right away, or maybe you didn’t notice, bad things can
happen. Without getting into too much technical detail a computer virus left unchecked will wreak havoc on your computer.
The situation never gets better, only worse. The symptoms are only annoying at first but if not removed it can cause enough
damage to render your computer inoperable, and if it gets into the boot files you can’t even turn it on. So you must
weigh the cost factor of buying an anti virus program against the possible consequences you might face in the future.
