Today we are going to talk about programs that you can use to keep your computer free from viruses, etc.
Most important to anyone owning a PC/laptop is having an Anti-virus program that is up to date. It's not a bad idea to change programs every six months or so just to make sure there isn't a virus hiding somewhere. I try to stay away from ones that are hard to delete or leave behind left over files.
For anti-virus I use Avast coupled with the program of ThreatFire as they are compatable to run together. Plus, they tend to update themselves frequently and regularly.
Always be sure your operating system updates are updated.
For other programs to use:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Spyware Blaster
Spybot Search and Destroy
Super Anti-Spyware
These free versions can be found at http://www.CNET.com
I recommend that unless you have a pop up stating that there is a problem. You should update and run these programs at least once a week.
