The Best Antivirus Software

by

Antivirus software is a must these days, but which program is the best? I advise steering clear of both Norton(Norton 2007 does not work with Vista and Norton Internet Security is terrible program that can really mess up your system. Don’t believe me? Do a google search and see all the horror stories and complaints that come up.) and McAfee as many problems and complaints have come up with them as well. My vote for the best antivirus program out there is AVG, by Grisoft. Not only is this program stable, easy to understand and use, and reliable(it’s virus definitions are updated almost daily!), it’s FREE! I’ve used it since it first came out and it’s by far the best antivirus program I’ve ever used. You can download it here if you’re interested. Whatever program you decide to use, do yourself a favor and research it first. Check out reviews and see what people are saying about it on message boards and forums. Oftentimes the very best advice comes from users like yourself!

Tomorrow we’ll talk about Spyware protection!

    I personally use Avast, which is also free for home use. I’ve been using it for over 12 months now and have had no trouble with it. It also updates its virus definitions daily; there is something reassuring rather than annoying about the ‘virus database has been updated’ audio message.
