Are You Protecting Your Computer?
By: Alton Hargrave
Do you know what to look for in anti-virus software?
You just bought yourself a new computer! Can't wait
to get it out of the box. Maybe you have had a
computer before and maybe this is your second or
third computer. And, you don't want to have all
those problems you hear about. This is the time to
think ahead and go for a positive online experience.
You should realize that while you are unpacking your
new machine, there are people all over the world who
are plotting to spoil your computer with malicious,
well-thought out plans. Your computer will endure
attacks moments after you go online. This is why we
all have to use antivirus protection. You and I just
have no choice. The single most important program on
your computer is your anti virus program. And, it
should be a really good one. Everything on your
computer, from your valuable software, your work, to
your personal financial records is constantly at
risk. I will explain some of the features you should
look for in anti-virus software.
Most of us make our choice on price alone. That is,
after we use the product that comes with our
computers. This is not the way to choose something
so important. You need to look at several products
before making your decision.
Look at your available options. Start with the anti
virus software that came with your PC. You can get
started by getting that software up and running.
Don't try to postpone using anti-virus software.
After a period of time, your software needs updated.
While you are online, your software should be
allowed to make daily updates. It is very important
to make the first update as soon as your new
computer is online for the first time. It is very
likely there have been a lot of new threats and
viruses introduced since the computer left the
factory. Updating the software is the best way to
keep your computer protected against these new
online dangers.
As you use the software that came with your new
computer, it is a good idea to make a list of what
you like - and don't like - about it. Is it easy to
update? Is it user friendly? Is it easy to see any
problems? Does the software notify you if the update
could not be completed? Are updates made available
on a daily basis?
Now, you have a basis for establishing what to look
for in anti-virus software. Read all you can online
to get even more information. Some anti virus
companies make their software available in trial
versions, so be sure to check out a number of
different products before deciding which one best
suits your needs. Some of the best is free, without
a trial.
Take some time to get the best protection you can
for your computer. And, periodically back up your
files. Al little planning can make your computer
experience an enjoyable experience.
