Free Antivirus Software For My Computer
Many people ask me,” where can I find free antivirus software.” The easiest and fastest way to find free malware removal software is to simply do a search on Google. Type in something like, “free antivirus software,” and click on the links.
There are many companies offering internet security programs for free, some are good, some are not so good, and some you should stay well clear of.
AVG is one of the most reputable and better known internet security providers online. In my humble opinion they offer one of the best security suites out there, and it’s completely free. Version 8 provides a multi faceted approach to online security with your web browser even alerting you to dodgy websites!
The web surfing protection is very useful as it can alert you to websites that it deems could be a security threat. This is accomplished by showing different graphics merged into your web browsers search window. Specific graphics or icons informs you if caution is required or that site is ok to visit.
Problem is many sites are offering what is termed, “rogue software.” Basically what this means is that if for instance you were trying to remove some spyware on your laptop and downloaded one of these so called “spyware removers, then installed it on your PC, some of them may actually install malware onto your system instead of removing it.
The link scanner from AVG which is installed into your browser comes in really handy to help prevent this from happening. It should keep you away from sites that may try and trick you into installing their dodgy software. This kind of web surfing software has been around for quite a while although not many end users are aware of it.
McAfee, one of the better known providers of internet security packages made this kind of technology widely popular. Ok so its obvious that AVG is at the top of my list for free antivius software but they are not the only kids on the block.
At this time I haven’t had the time to test as vigorously, other software programs offered by companies like Avast and Avira. Although I can’t attest to it personally, they do seem to have built up a good reputation in the internet security software arena.
Hopefully I have answered the question, “where can I find free antivirus software” to your satisfaction. Next step is to spend a little time on your favorite search engine and choose your own or follow my lead and make AVG your first choice.
