What solution can stop all computer/internet virus threats?
Which are best based on your PC resources?
First, a bit of computer virus history; They have been around since the invention of the PC. Then when the internet came along they could spread like wildfire to millions of computers within minutes.
Often they would take control and jump around, just when you finally thought you tracked it down it would hop in and out of the memory usually the only choice you had was to completely reformat your hard-drive losing all your data:( Then with the tons of software we need you reload this process can take hours if not days to reload.
As time went on smarter anti virus software programs started what is known as .dat files which contained all known viruses and updated their software as new strains were created.
Today many FREE anti virus software solutions exist, but BEWARE they can be hard to get rid of once you download them. It's best to stick with well known anti-virus software that's been time tested.
Some can be real resource hogs and slow your computer to a crawl, they need to run in the background at all times and update quite often. Norton is probably the oldest followed by McAfee, but newer leaner ones have cropped up in recent years. If your PC has 512mb memory with a 2.66 GHZ CPU or even 1mb or memory with a bit higher CPU speed it's best to consider one of the two choices listed below.
There are two that come to mind and they both have FREE trials. They offer both home [FREE] plus business versions [PAID] and to be as completely protected as possible, plus one that is a total solution to protect against all known threats the web as produced lately, i.e. ID theft, phishing, spyware etc.
Recommended: AVAST! for home use is free and a total solution for PC/MAC. If you think you may have been infected by a virus they have a great anti virus forum.
AVG - Get the internet security version for full coverage.
May all your web surfing journeys be fun, informative and safe!
