Free Antivirus Protection? You Get What You Pay For!
(Return to SmallBizWebServices HomePage)
Free antivirus software may be the only option for those on a limited budget. The question is how well free antivirus software protects your PC, how easy is it to use, and what if something goes wrong ? I had been a proponent of open source, free, or shareware supported AV products for along time.
However, in late May 2009, a Russian variant of a nasty bug blew right through AVG and Windows Defender like they were not even installed!!!!! I tried every trick in the book but after many, many hours... too many, I reformatted the device and started over. If you value your PC and your data, get a product from one of the big players. My bet and where I put my money - McAfee 3-User Total Protection... Follow this link, it tells you all about it.
This is a very nice package - buy now from McAfee and download the product. If you don't, you better have another, high end package !
