Antivirus protection is very important to have on your computer. There are several brands on the market. This is also true for Firewall software programs (software that assists in trying to prevent someone from “hacking” into you computer). The important thing is to make sure that you “update” your virus and Firewall protection on a regular basis. Each time you sign onto the Internet is the best practice. Several Anti Virus and Firewall protection software programs are available and can also be researched on the Internet. Two of the major names are Norton and McAfee.
Both products offer virus protection packages as well as parental control
software and personal firewalls. Both
of these sites also offer a look up feature for checking to see if a certain
virus, worm or Trojan name that you received in an email or by word of mouth is
an actual threat to your computer. These
sites also offer a free check of your computer to make sure it is not infected
or vulnerable to a threat.
