Free virus software can protect your valuable data and computer files against viruses. Get informed, choose carefully, and protect your priceless data and computer files against viruses

 

 

You may want to consider free virus software for protection by looking into arranging for an online virus scan if you ever had programs unexpectedly installing on your system, unwanted advertisements popping up, (e.g. voice advertisements or music playing, changes showing up on your home page, or having search results displayed when you hit a ‘404 file not found page’.

Your system has probably been compromised by some spyware, adware, trojan, hijacker or dialer intrusion.

An online virus scan should be your first step to some peace of mind that may be available to you by obtaining free virus software to protect your computer.

Be especially careful about downloading, sharing or booting from floppies (including downloading software from a well meaning friend).

Floppies are one of the most common ways viruses are transmitted. If you are using a floppy while working on your computer, remove it when you shut the machine off, because your computer will automatically try to boot from the floppy, the next time you or someone else uses it, possibly launching any viruses on the disk.

A well meaning friend sharing a floppy with you may unknowingly pass along a virus.

Running a virus scan with purchased or free virus software will ensure protection.

Update your free virus software frequently.

An anti-virus program, whether it is purchased or free, is only as good as the frequency with which you update it. New viruses, worms, and Trojan horses are born daily, and variations of them can slip by software that is not current.

Look for purchased or free software that has a feature that searches for new virus definitions every time you go online, so you are always up to date.
