Over the past couple of months I have been looking at computers to see what I can do to resolve some of the computers problems.  One of the biggest problems I am running into when I look into why a computer is running slow, I find that a computer is running 2 to 4 different Antivirus programs at the same time doing the same thing.  This will cause even the best computer to run slow.  On Start up a computer will check all the program to see if they are infected the processor will bog down until it can read through the request.  So you only need one and it will depend on what you fill is right for you.

 

Now there are many programs out there you have Norton, McAfee, AVG, Avast. The list goes on and on.  Prices go anywhere from $15.00 to $20.00 a month depending on what you trust.  I am not the person to tell you how to spend the money.  My preference when I am using a Microsoft product like windows, I believe Microsoft Product would do the best to protect Microsoft’s Products.  It is in Microsoft’s best interest to protect its product.  My preference is a free Microsoft product called Microsoft Security Essentials, I mean why not it is Free and not only will it do everything that the others will do it is going to protect my computer just well as all the rest of the do.

 

I have worked on computers for the last 15 years I have used many of the Antivirus programs to protect my computer but no matter which antivirus protection I was using I was always finding viruses.   Even if I updated the antivirus program as soon as the new updates and patches where available I was still finding that not all the nasty viruses were blocked.  I decided that I was not willing to pay for something that was going to costing me money and time only to find that I still had a virus get through.  I found that even the best protection out there would let the virus in.  Being that I have run into the virus I have started to find where they are hiding, we are talking places that I would not have thought to look.  The sad thing is the people that create the virus are using your habits to infect you.
