Antivirus Software - The Protective Shield

You must be a computer freak like me as you are spending time in reading technical reviews. Believe me I was also one of you who loved to be updated. Yes, I am talking about those early days when there wasn’t so much fun in internet and there were few sites which had reviews. In that time my favorite pass time is to search for software especially those free software which I can easily download into my computer. As we got computers in an early age so there wasn’t any idea how to maintain this huge gadget. Many a time I had slow speed and sometimes my work started closing automatically and the height came when once I was unable to open a single webpage and all that is visible was some language which was difficult to decipher. This was my first encounter with viruses. After it got into my computer so I realized how difficult it is to clean the computer and have a computer which is virus free. This was just the beginning, after this many of my friends told about viruses which almost ruined their computers. So that was more than enough a reason for me to search for a solution. The biggest irony was that my computer already has software, which I later realized was an antivirus. Antivirus is software which helps your computer to get rid of viruses. But there are various antiviruses which work as per their capacity. So in this review I will tell you how you can prevent your computer or laptop from getting affected from viruses. Believe me viruses have the capacity to destroy your work completely and this can happen to anybody.

How they come?
Viruses always transmit through unwanted material. This can happen in both internal and external condition. Sometimes viruses also come to your PC through hard drives. Some of the most notable virus transmission is through unsecured websites. There are many websites present in internet which are there only to transmit viruses. If you open this website and try to download anything then these websites send viruses to your computer. This is most seen in porn sites as they allure the user with exciting text to download from there website. Through these download viruses transmit your computer. Unsecured e-mails, messages and promotional text also transmit viruses. Hence you should avoid unwanted downloads from internet. And if you find any e-mail which isn’t familiar to you then you should simply delete it.

The Remedy
The best possible remedy to get rid of these viruses is to have an antivirus installed in your computer. Virus is not only affecting your computer but your Cell Phone can also be affected through viruses. Now you can find antivirus software for free on the internet. Some of the most famous and widely used anti virus software are Norton Anti Virus, Spy Killer, McAfee, Ad-aware, Avast and many more. McAfee and Norton are now the most famous anti viruses.
