With many anti-virus software
products out there, none of them can assure 100% protection.
Today’s generation of anti-virus software can give your
computer a level of protection that most folks thought
were impossible. Anti-virus software protects against
all known virus, adware, spyware threats and most hacker
attacks. You should always have updated virus protection
installed on your computer.
Your anti-virus software will protect your computer by
scanning for viruses that could enter from your email,
or a disk, or a file you get from some other computer.
Your anti-virus protection should scan your computer at
least once a week. This should be set to happen on an
automatic setting on your computer. Most computers have
this automatic setting today so remember to set it.
The software used today can protect you against worms
and viruses that have not been created yet. But you must
always update your anti-virus software. Once some infections
enter your computer they can infest the whole system very
quickly. This can cause your computer to crash or even
send out viruses to your entire mailing list.
Most anti-virus software will detect the viruses. Then
it will quarantine or isolate the virus. Then it will
remove the virus and fix the file or program. Along with
anti-virus software you should update your operating system.
This will usually give free software patching and some
firewalls.
Once you have downloaded your anti-virus software, you
must run a full scan of your computer. Hundreds of these
viruses are released every month. Most of you probably
never give your virus protection or anti-virus software
a second thought until your computer starts slowing up
and error message keep popping up. If you never do anything
about the error messages or your sluggish page loading
this computer maintenance can lead to disaster. Check
your computer regularly at least once a week even more
if you can.
