At this point you can’t afford to leave your computer unprotected. Viruses can steal your passwords and lead to having your identity stolen. Other viruses can use your computer to send out thousands of spam messages and get your Internet account canceled. That is nothing to mess around with. You need to have up to date effective antivirus protection on your computer continually. I found a nice post on a free stuff Web site that should make it easier.
But what if you can’t afford to purchase a fancy antivirus subscription? What If you were told that you could get the best free antivirus available for free? There are three excellent free antivirus products that will protect your computer as well as or better than the most used packages.
Why in the World would antivirus publishers give away great antivirus products for free? There are essentially two reasons. The companies offer a professional version with more features and they know some people will upgrade to the paid versions. The other reason is to become well known so that corporations are more likely to buy the enterprise version.
You are certainly wondering if these programs are like the McAfee or Norton products that may have been sold with your computer where you get the first year without cost and then get charged a lot to renew. Not at all. All three of the best free antivirus products are free year after year. There is no guarantee that they will always give away a free version, but it seems to be doing the job for them so I suspect they will.
So how do you find out what these fantastic antivirus packages are and where to get them? Visit this report on the best free antivirus and you can read about all of these antivirus programs and find out where to get them. Your PC and your personal information will be protected and you will sleep better with the knowledge you have the best antivirus software and it was free.
The Risky Biz blog brings news that Big W, a subsidiary of Woolworths, has Windows-based Fuji photo kiosks in at least some of its stores that don’t run antivirus software, and are therefore spreading infections, such as Trojan-Poison-36, via customers’ USB storage devices. Here is the account of the original reporter. "It’s not just the lack of AV that’s the problem… it appears there’s been zero thought put into the problem of malware spreading via these kiosks. Why not just treat customers’ USB devices as read-only? Why allow the kiosks to write to them at all? It would be interesting to find out which company — Fuji, Big W, or even some other third party — is responsible for the maintenance of the machines. It would also be interesting to find out if there are any liability issues here for Big W in light of its boneheaded lack of security planning."
