Importance of Anti-virus

Personal Computers are prone to virus and we must be responsible to stop the infiltration of these bad guys right into our machine.

I'm sure all of you are eager to know how these viruses get into our computer. Well, here's how:

And next will be coming from you... I'm sure you have other things running on your head right now (that are not listed above) so better share it with us. =)

And I have a last question for you guys, do you think that anti-virus is just an option to use or it is a must have friend that we must trust and depend on? (well not truly to depend on it but better with one than nothing..)

Based on my experiences, if you have money, go and buy paid edition (Professional). You'd better buy it than use free edition. Why? Because professional edition supports full features that free/trial edition lacks of. But if you do not have money right now, just stick to the free edition. Better with one than nothing as one of my friends told me.

Anyway, you should have a good reason why you choose a certain anti-virus program (will not discuss or recommend any anti-virus softwares here because I know others had done it already). It depends on your choice or others' recommendation on what to buy. As long as the anti-virus is famous for removing real viruses and well-known worldwide, I think you can rely on them.

I use AVG Free Edition (wait... did I say lately that I would not discuss any anti-virus softwares here? Well it's just needed to give you an idea of what free anti-virus you can use). It's good to have them (but remember you should only have one anti-virus installed because if you install more than one, unexpected results might occur) especially when you're not the only one who use the computer at home. I also gave a shot for Avast, the free edition, due to at those days I looked for the best one.

I'm not telling you that having anti-virus program on your machine does guarantee you a 100% virus-free environment. These softwares will only lessen the risk of your computer being infected by all forms of viruses. Since free edition costs you nothing and often there's no technical support to assist you, paid edition is a life-saver. You give money and in return expect their good services. I think that's how things work.

Have a happy surfing bind with enough confidence because at some point you know you are safe (well not actually safe but atleast you know an ally is watching and guarding you at all time). =)
