Viruses Can Harm Your Computer
Since computers first came into the shops they have become a part of our daily lives. We depend on computers so much now for our files, address book, information sources, connecting with friends etc.
A well designed and executed virus can have a very disabling effect on your computer.
Computer viruses have shown us how vulnerable we can be when it comes to downloading software etc. A computer virus is like any program; however, the goal of every computer virus is to destroy files or computer systems by spreading itself quickly to unsuspecting computer users. So to protect your computer from these viruses, you have to be very vigilant and put up your guard against them.
The first thing you need to do is let a good antivirus program be your first line of defense against the effects of these paralyzing viruses. Make sure you install an antivirus from a reputable source. If you want a FREE antivirus then I would recommend Avast or Microsoft Essentials. There are upgrades of course but the free version is very good. Update it regularly and also use it regularly to scan your computer. New viruses are coming out every day so if your antivirus is out of date you are not likely to get the degree of protection that you need.
There are several other free antivirus programs that you can download and these are called antivirus freeware. These programs can secure your computer and your life, as long as you make it a habit to check for updates on your antivirus and on updates on viruses to guard your computer before any virus hits you off-guard. I can assure you it is not pleasant to have a virus and it is something that you don’t want if it can be avoided.
One of the most common forms of viruses are from online chat sessions, so be extremely careful about accepting any programs or files. Computer virus creators are also internet mainstays !! They are very gifted when it comes to technology and they just want to create havoc out of their expertise by creating computer viruses. You will find them frequently online in chat rooms with the intention of generating loads of unsuspecting victims. So beware …….
If you think you have a virus on your computer then follow the directions in your antivirus freeware or antivirus download on how to clean it and if you are not sure what to do then do not hesitate to check the online support services of the software.
One other thing, don’t be intimidated by a computer virus. Make sure your files are backed up and you are keeping your antivirus up to date then you shouldn’t have a problem. In fact, today, viruses are not that disabling as before due to the popularity of reputable antivirus software, antivirus downloads, and antivirus online help. So with all of this to back you up, if you get a virus it is just as easy these days to get rid of it ….. It is also a good idea to do a bit of research on the internet regarding protection from hackers and viruses where you will find extra help if you need it.
