NOOB introduction for anti virus protection - part 1

Anyone that loves surfing the internet has to have a good anti virus protection, otherwise there is a good chance of ruining the computer with a nasty virus. The viruses are becoming increasingly frequent and destructive and they can also be well hidden in a website. Once in your computer system, they can cause deletion of files or even a complete shutdown and this can all be avoided by making sure that an actual anti virus protection is installed.

Surfing the internet has become cheap nowadays, because of the so-called flat rates. This enables a person to surf all day long and every day of the week for one low price, however many are not willing to give out any money for a good anti virus protection. This is actually quite careless since the results could be fatal for the computer and even precious files, such as personal photos, could be lost if a virus infects the computer system. Some people may want a good protection, but really do not have the money to purchase such a program and in this case there are many free anti virus protection programs available or trial versions of well known software, such as Symantec or McAfee. Even a free anti virus program is better than none. Companies that offer free anti virus protection software include AVG, Avast! and Avira.
