Okay so what is the best antivirus software ? I get asked that question so much it makes my head spin. Yes I can sit here and say it's Webroot, Mcafee, Nortons, Kaspersky, AVG, Avast and many more. We all have our preferences due to using a particular antivirus software for years. It may have been something that was installed on your Hewlett Packard computer when you bought it. There are some very good websites such as http://www.av-comparatives.org/ that can provide lots of information. There are many other websites that provide good information about the various antivirus programs. The only thing I would say is watch out if they are promoting that antivirus software. You see they will tell you all kinds of good things about it. That's how they are making their money.
Watch out for any place that tries to say they guarantee their software they are selling will stop all viruses, malware, spyware and adware. You see that is a bunch of boloney. No antivirus software can stop everything. As far as the customer is concerned the best method is to avoid email that you don't know the sender. Delete that unknown email. If you get a message from Microsoft or someone else don't answer or call them. If something pops up on your computer telling you that you are infected don't click on it to close it out. That click may in fact start the infection on your computer. The best thing is to shut your computer down normally or hold the power button to power the computer off. This will not damage your hard drive. You just do not want to kill the power as this may damage the hard drive or cause hard drive corruption such as cross linked files or orphaned files.
So what then is the best way to never get a virus, malware, spyware or Adware on your computer.
TURN THE COMPUTER OFF, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE INTERNET AND NEVER USE IT AGAIN.
Sounds a little harsh doesn't it. If you are going to use your computer for personal use or in a work environment I recommend to always BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM.
Thank You For Reading.
