Computer Tip of the day

Hi,

Today's tip is a well known practice, how ever it does slip through the cracks some times.
Virus Protection...
Pretty much ever one knows they should protect their computers from virus threats right.
all though a lot of people when buying a new computer notice that this great new tool comes loaded
with one of the big name virus protection software bundles.

What most do not know is that this software has a shelf life, what I mean by that is at the end of some time period the software will no longer protect their computer, and at this point it becomes nothing more than a useless slug that really slows the performance of the computer its installed on.

Let me back up a bit, if the big name virus software is updated and the subscription is renewed then it will continue to protect the users machine, how ever it must be updated and with out a renewed subscription it will not function as intended. There fore will not protect from virus threats any longer.

So my tip is that if you buy a new computer, it will come with one of these programs.
make sure when the subscription runs out that you either renew it or uninstall it and down load
one of the many Free Virus protection programs from the Internet...
here is a list of some that I would Endorse.

1) Avast http://www.avast.com
2) AVG http://www.AVG.com
3) SuperAntiSpyWare http://www.SuperAntiSpyware.com

please take a few moments and check out these links, they are totally free and work very well.

That's it for today.

Thanks and Keep On Computing.
