Anyone who uses the internet is at risk of being infected with a computer virus. Your computer can get infected when you open an e-mail, download freeware, or browse the internet. For an average user, the best way to stay protected from such threats is to have anti-virus software installed on your computer. However, while most anti virus software do their job well, there are some that simply don't get the job done. That is why it is important to know what to look for in anti virus software in order to avoid buying a lemon. Here are some of main things to search for in good anti virus software:
•Not only can the top anti-virus programs scan for existing viruses, but it can also do things such as tell you whether a website is safe or not and can prevent you from downloading such software in the first place.
•They are also light enough on your computer's memory to allow you to use your computer while it scans for viruses
•Such programs also have a very easy to navigate user interface which allows you to use all of the program's features without the need to waste time on reading the manual.
Although such programs can be more expensive than the lesser anti-virus software, they are worth it. If you get a bad anti-virus program, your computer is not going to be as secure as it should be. It can still get infected with some of the more advanced viruses that could potentially do irreparable damage to your computer.
