AvastComputers Smartphones and AntiVirus Protection
Computers Smartphones and AntiVirus Protection should be at the top of our list if we own either of them.
We are living in a a time when practically every household has a computer of some kind. Whether it be a Laptop,
Desktop, Tower, or even cell phones (Smartphones) capable of downloading files and programs off the internet. If you have the capability to download a file of picture from the internet you have the capability of getting a potential harmful Virus! All systems need an Antivirus Program on them regardless of style.
There are literally 100’s of viruses created every day by hackers who do noting but try to out smart the Antivirus Systems. Unfortunately there are those who are just mean, evil, malicious, destructive people who find it funny to destroy other peoples property and information regardless of the consequences it may bring the owner. That being said there are lots of AntiVirus Software out there for you to use. Some free and some with free trials with upgrades and others with an upfront subscription. We are going to concentrate on the free ones today and give you some articles to read on Antivirus if you are interested in keeping your computer / Smart device safe from Viruses and Malware.
I am by no means an expert on this issue and do not claim to be. I have just had some very bad experiences in the past with Viruses and Malware that actually destroyed files on my computer and it is not a pleasant thing! I have had to reformat my entire computer once and loose all my files, pictures, information, etc. This is not something you want to happen!
Although we live on the back roads and it is lovely in the country we still have computers and technology and all that good stuff that keeps us in contact with the outside world! Any time there are computers and smartphones there will be viruses.
Now to the good part. there are free AntiVirus programs you can install on your computer and use for “FREE”
