Free Antivirus Software For My Computer
Many people ask me,” where can I find free antivirus software.” The easiest and fastest way to find free malware removal software is to simply do a search on Google. Type in something like, “free antivirus software,” and click on the links.
There are many companies offering internet security programs for free, some are good, some are not so good, and some you should stay well clear of.
I have tried many free anti-virus programs but my favorite is the one provided by AVG. Their security suites seem to get better by the year with the most recent version (8.00) providing the most up to the minute online security prevention available.
The web surfing protection is very useful as it can alert you to websites that it deems could be a security threat. This is accomplished by showing different graphics merged into your web browsers search window. Specific graphics or icons informs you if caution is required or that site is ok to visit.
The problem of, “rogue software,”seems to be on the increase. This type of software once installed on your PC or laptop can install spyware, viruses and all sorts of nuisance malware.
The link scanner from AVG which is installed into your browser comes in really handy to help prevent this from happening. It should keep you away from sites that may try and trick you into installing their dodgy software. This kind of web surfing software has been around for quite a while although not many end users are aware of it.
AVG was not the first company to make this kind of technology available. I first came came across it when McAfee security made it popular. By now you have probably worked out that I’m a fan of AVG. Although they are my personal preference, there are others out there to choose from.
Companies like Avira and Avast have also built formidable reputations in providing free and paid online security suite solutions, although I have not had the time to test them as thoroughly as I would like.
Back full circle to, “where can I find free antivirus software.” I hope that I have given you enough relevant information for you to spend a little time researching so you can make your own informed decision. Alternatively you may decide just to take my word for it and make the AVG free download page your first port of call.
