Protect Your Computer For Free!Protecting your computer doesn't have to be an ongoing expense these days. There is more than enough quality protection available for free if you know where to find it. Choose one anti-virus program and one firewall. Then take any other number of privacy and anti-spyware/trojan programs. Free Anti-Virus SoftwareVirus protection software is a must for anyone using the internet, USB memory, emails, floppy disks or cdroms. (NOTE:- Only one virus protection software must be installed on one system at a time.) Viruses come in many different forms and usually masking itself as an .exe file. Most people are fooled into clicking on the file while attached to an email. There is no need to purchase expensive virus protection as the free versions have updating and real time scanning options now and will delete almost any virus detected. Below are 3 of the most popular free virus protection software that compare very well if not better than some paid for versions.
Free Anti-Rootkit Tools
Free Firewall SoftwareFirewall software is simply a method of protecting your computer and prevents unwanted intruders and I recommend that every should have one installed (NOTE:- Do not install more than one firewall software). Hackers randomly search the Internet for vulnerable PC’s. Any computer that is online can be hacked at any time. As more and more people are turning to broadband where computer are connected 24/7 then these attacks are increasing and these users are the most vulnerable. Do not think that because you do not use a credit card or store personal information on your pc that you don't need a firewall, hackers compromise your PC with viruses, worms, or spyware that tracks your internet use, and reports it back to someone to be sold for marketing purposes. Below are 3 of the most popular free firewalls that compare very well if not better than some paid for versions.
Free Anti-Spyware SoftwareIf you have annoying popups at your system tray clock telling you that your computer is infected then read on for a 100% FREE fix. The software the advert is trying to get you to download is NEVER free and will actually cause more harm to your computer. They claim to heal the files and delete them but once you download their software and run the scanner it tells you what files it has found but will only remove them once you pay for the software. Ad remover software is simply a method of removing ads, popups etc. from your computer and prevents unwanted changes to your homepage and I recommend that every should have genuine free ad remover programs on their system. Below are the most popular free removers that compare very well if not better than some paid for versions. They can all be installed and used together on the same system as some find different intrusions.
