Anti Virus Protection - Get The Facts

By: Paul Zayer

When you work with a computer, doesn't time flies? Let me guess, you're probably on your computer about two or three hours a day. Does that sound about right? Then again, if you work on a computer at home or in some cramped cubicle, you may spend the majority of your day on a PC.

Now, I hope you're taking some basic precautions for all that time you spend typing, surfing, downloading, reading, and sending. After all, the last thing you need is a Trojan horse or irreparable virus who will destroy your system.

Yes this can be very annoying. Not only can it damage what you were doing, but it could also destroy your entire hard drive. That means all you have saved in the past; work, family photos, downloads, the whole shebang. It is pretty sure that you want some good anti virus protection.

I got hit hard last year. Not by a drunken shmoe in a smoky bar either. I mean at home in my own family room. That place where you feel secure and comfortable at all times. Unfortunately, when it comes to cyberspace, security has gone out the window. Or at least it seems this way at times.

I was doing my normal web browsing. Just looking in the Internet for a few new desktops to grace my computer screen. Then suddenly it happened. Just as I downloaded a horror flick wallpaper, my screen went fuzzy.

What was happening! I was certain I had excellent anti virus protection. How could I got hit all of a sudden by a random computer virus? Well, a good thing, my laptop was not the same. I shut it down and tried to restart, but it wouldn't comply.

It was time to talk to a professional. He informed me that my system board was fried. OUCH. This was going to cost me a lot; I could tell. I asked him if it was a virus, but he couldn't tell.

However, I was pretty sure it was that darn horror movie wallpaper I tried to download. That is when it all happened. 425 dollars later, I had a fixed computer. I went back online right away and downloaded the best free anti virus protection I could find. I continue to update once every two weeks or so.

I hate that this is a never-ending story. The nasty viruses advance just as well as the anti virus protection advances. Who in God's name is creating this garbage and don't they have anything better to do? Take my advice; stay recent with your anti virus protection. Your PC or Mac is at stake.
