PC HELP ANTIVIRUS
First of all.. im sure there are
some other guru's in here when it comes to security for a computer.
personally i been doing it for many years ..i have a ad in the paper
and i also pay my little nephews to post my flyer's in gas station
bulletin boards, restaurants, telephone poles,etc ..this is a side
business i do to make extra funds to help fund my tech toys lol...but
seriously i been doing it for 15 years i believe now...so im pretty
well seasoned i guess you can say.
Anyways.. each year i experiment with various programs to secure my
computer up nice and neat.. along with customer's computers. One of
my good friends that lives in Ohio works for a firm that go to
various schools, companies, institutions,etc and secure their
networks.. he takes classes year round to keep up on the latest best
software for security..he is the one that told me about Avira and a
few others, not that is what "they" use for their clients but
personally he said it was damn good for being free....and from my
testing Avira Free Edition is one heck of a anti virus program from
what i could see myself so he was pretty spot on with recommending
it.. Microsoft security essentials is just icing on the cake for
added security and its rather good too..with both working as
one..its a very nice security configuration for any computer.
Two simple "free" programs you can use are as follows...
1. Avira Anti-Virus Free Edition

(make sure you get the "free" anti-virus) edition of Avira. Its all
you need..well that and the following..
2. Microsoft Security Essentials
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
now i run a legit version of windows 7 so it does scan before
download to make sure you got a legit copy..i dont know if it works
on pirated copies..i havent kept in touch with the pirated versions
so i dont know but if your pirated capy can download from Windows
Updates fine..then i see no reason why you wont pass this quick
check before being able to download Microsoft Security Essentials.
Anyways.. download both of those programs..get rid of any other old
anti virus programs you been using or was pre-installed when you
bought your pc..those pre-installed security suites are usually
garbage and bog down a computer anyways.
After you get both downloaded..install Microsoft security essentials
first, get any updates for it...then run a quick scan..after that
install Avira and get updates and run a quick scan with that as
well.
After that..you will be good to go..
Now as i stated im sure there are other people in here that very
good with anti virus setups,security configs,etc..so im just sharing
what i use for myself and my customers "IF" you have had issues
before. As im sure some of you know..it really boils down to the
kind of surfing habits you do and the kind of cracks and hacks you
install when using pirated software..that and porn are the two
biggest culprits in infecting a system..if your already careful with
what you install.. you probably keep a pretty clean system.
I just had to do a fresh install of windows 7 on one of my pc's so i
figured i'd share my tip with you guys..
