Best Two Ways To Keep Your Computer Data Safe


 Every day I see multiple computers from customers that have had their computers infected with viruses, malware, spyware and adware. When I call the customer to let them know what is wrong with their computer and how much it will cost, they always ask me the same thing. Why didn't my antivirus software catch the infection and get rid of it it. The next question is did I lose my data.

 Well the first thing I explain to them is that no virus program is going to be 100%. In other words there is no magic antivirus program that will stop everything from getting into your computer. I will tell you most customers are not very happy at this point. So the first thing is to let them know if their data is intact and second is what to do in the future to protect yourself from viruses, malware and all the other nasty pests out there on the internet.
 So for your own protection make sure you have good antivirus software and make sure it is up to date. I can't count any more of the people that have virus software that expired a year or two ago. So what is the best antivirus software in 2017. Well I do like Kaspersky, Webroot and Mcafee Antivirus. The only drawbacks with them are one that Kaspersky is very picky and may block certain programs and functions. Webroot Antivirus has been around a long time and still does very well. No as for Mcafee Antivirus I had some concerns in the last year or two. Mcafee was very good back in the 90s and early 2000s, but dwindled for  awhile. The newest versions seem to be doing much better.

 There are other programs that you can also use that do very well at helping remove infections from your pc. One of my all time favorites is the Malwarebytes program. There is a free version that works very well for a free version, but if you want better protection I would suggest the paid version of Malwarebytes. There are others such as spybot and super antispyware that do a good job. Just make sure to only have one antivirus program running or the two will fight each other and slow the system down or crash it.
 There are some programs that you can run to cleanup infections that may have wormed their way in. The first would be roguekiller, second would be junkware removal tool  and finally adwcleaner. All of these can be downloaded from their website or from bleeping.com and are free. If you find any other programs check on google.com or yahoo.com to see if there are any problems with certain programs. Some are just not as good as they seem. If you do run these programs use them in the safemode with networking. There are other virus removal tools available that do a good job as well.
