Free Anti-VIrus Protection for your Home PC's

Get Protected with Anti-Virus Software....For Free
Any IT Professional cannot stress enough how important it is to have anti-virus protection on your computer system. It saves you from a headache down the road dealing with viruses, and data loss, and also helps others that you communicate with in the cyber world.
People who do not have anti-virus protection or have expired anti-virus protection usually have the following reasons:
  • Don't want to pay ~$60 a year for it
  • Don't know what Anti-virus software is
  • Don't know that it is expired
  • Just never bother to get it

Well there are several solutions available to all home pc users. I recommend anti-virus from two software companies: Avast! and AVG. They offer free anti-virus protection to home pc users (non-commercial). It is EXCELLENT protection, they have constant updates, and it does not use a lot of system resources (it doesn't slow down the computer) like McAfee and Norton do.

Anti-Virus protection helps fight the following:

  • Facebook & Myspace
  • Email
  • Rouge Websites
  • Flaws in MS Windows
  • Flaws in MS Internet Explorer

But another reason why Anti-Virus is a must is, it helps protect your data and system stability, and it also scans all OUTGOING email to help protect from spreading viruses to your friends, family and business partners.

Before you download one of the following anti-virus packages, you first must uninstall any current anti-virus software that you have, then restart your computer, then download the new anti-virus protection. Should you have any problems, give us a call at: 410-274-4871 or visit our website for more support: http://www.defpc.net/
