Anti virus downloads should be approached with a very high level of skepticism.
Although all wise internet surfers understand the necessity of such software, you must be careful when searching for it on the internet. Some computer spyware and viruses disguise themselves as anti virus downloads or security alerts. Make absolutely sure that any anti virus downloads you introduce your computer to come from reliable sources. If you download a program onto your computer under false pretenses, you and your computer will be in line for a world of hurt. Norton and McAfee are two of the big names that you can trust if searching for anti virus downloads. A Trojan virus attempted to enter my computer through one of these fraudulent anti virus downloads. A window popped up that contained the Microsoft Windows icon, a yellow triangle, indicating a security alert. Clicking on the window, even to close it, opened a browser that had been hijacked and automatically defaulted to a bogus anti virus download site and continued to do so no matter what I tried to do. The best piece of advice that I can give about anti virus downloads would be to just go out and buy one. If you want software that you can rely on, you will have to pay for it. It is a worthy investment and a necessity for any computer that touches the internet. Buying the software will also make it easier to get regular updates to ensure that your virus protection is working at its very best. Updating your anti virus software should be done on a weekly basis at the very least. Hackers and cowardly virus creators can throw a new threat into the net world any day. I update my software every time I turn on my computer. Sometimes the public does not hear about a new virus threat until days after it has been introduced. This may leave many users at risk unaware that the next email they open could damage their computer. I think that hackers and the lowly creatures that create viruses are passive aggressing losers who lack the courage to openly attack others. They hide in their mothers' basements devising new ways to annoy a world that does not accept them. No one feels sorry for these punks and no one should. An IT friend of mine believes that if our government were to hang the next jerk who pulls one of these off you would see a dramatic decrease in this problem. I may agree with the outcome but I fully support the solution. Any act that damages personal property, wastes others' time and money and causes such aggravation should be dealt with as harshly as other crimes. Do what you can to protect yourself. Buy a good piece of anti virus and anti spyware software. And if you meet a hacker on the road - you samurai fans know what to do. Related Articles: Yahoo!
