Antivirus Protection

Spy-ware and computer viruses are programs you come in contact with online that can be very harmful to your computer. There is software you can find to fight against those programs.
McAfee is the first antivirus program I’ll mention. It has programs that detect viruses and spy-ware and warn you about their threat. A window may pop up and ask if you want to allow the program to run. There is a free version of McAfee available to download. Here’s the site: McAfee website
If you want more protection you can purchase McAfee software here:
Another antivirus program is Norton. Norton basically offers the same protection as McAfee. You can purchase this on this page: Norton website
Some internet providers use either the McAfee or Norton antivirus as their security program. Some may add a small fee. Antivirus software acts as the immune system for your computer. These programs update virus definitions regularly to protect your computer from harm. These programs can scan your computer for threats automatically or by choice. It is vital that if you use your computer to go online that you have an antivirus protecting you.
