The Best Way To protect Your Computer in 2011 Posted: 17 Jul 2011 11:16 PM PDT Latest Antivirus Software Go online to any antivirus software site or walk into a local computer store and you will see shelves loaded down with a bewildering selection of software. There will be spam filters for email, firewalls, antivirus scanners for the home computer, antivirus software packages for the home office, antivirus software for the Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and other platforms. Confusing isn't it? Antivirus software changes so quickly. New types of software come out and quickly become outdated within a few months. It's bewildering to say the least! How can you choose? What should you use? Free software? Commercial software? Customized software? Individual software programs or a software suite? Information overload… Well the answers are below! The Best Antivirus Software Protection For Your Computer A Home or Small Office PC running either Windows or Mac OSX needs the following software programs to protect it from viruses or malware. First, is a two-way firewall to watch for and prevent malware from entering your computer or, if already present, reporting home on a successful infiltration. Next, a good scanner to hunt down and kill those viruses and malware that are already on your system. Supporting the scanner, should be an updating service to find and download the latest information on viruses, how to eliminate them and list sites where they are coming from so you can avoid them in the future. And lastly, email, SMS, chat and IM software to scan and filter out spam, suspicious emails, dangerous attachments and malicious code. By now you're thinking, "How much is this all going to cost me?" "How will it affect my system?" and "Will everything play nice together?" Ok, this is where looking at an antivirus suite such as those made by McAfee is a good idea. Why McAfee Is The Best Choice As a reputable maker of Antivirus Protection Software, McAfee makes a number of good, reasonably priced software packages for Windows and Mac PC's that are very effective at protecting your computer against viruses and malware. Antivirus Plus and its more capable upgrade, Internet Security for Windows are designed to provide you with essential protection and keep you worry free and out of trouble while you are surfing the net. Antivirus Plus offers the basic functions of a two-way firewall, virus scanner, the McAfee Site Advisor service to keep you abreast of new threats online and off and a clean, easily understandable interface that lets you control the level of protection you need. Internet Security for Windows offers all the basic features of Antivirus Plus and goes further by including email, SMS, chat and IM spam and content filters to keep you safe while surfing your favourite SNS site. The software also includes safe online backup support to protect files or documents you want to store online safe and secure. And, for that growing segment of the market that are switching to Macs, McAfee Total Protection for Mac, like its Windows counterpart provides similar protection for Mac OSX computers whether they are on or off the net. By doing so, McAfee is making a safe platform even safer in a world where hackers are turning their attentions towards the potentially profitable and easy targets Macs make. No related posts.
