Free Stuff

Free Anti-Virus.

I would recommend Norton but if you’re careful and you know what you’re doing you can use free AV products but in my opinion paid antivirus software is inexpensive and you won’t have to put up with continual pop ups.

Microsoft’s built in security has improved over the years and is now more than able to cope with home users security requirements on its own.

The key way to keep safe on the internet is to make sure your computer operating system is up to date your Antivirus up to date. Anti Viruses don’t just stop viruses attacking your computer while searching the internet but they can also stop spam, unwanted pop-ups and warn you of potential dangerous websites.
Avast Antiviru offers good virus protection, the free version could be enough to keep the everyday user safe on the internet but if you would like that extra protection or you’ve been having problems contact us for assistance.

You can also try out various paid for AV products for Norton or Bitdefender.
