Almost any website or download is susceptible to viruses and malware. These viruses and malware could either be put their intentionally or unintentionally. Either way, it’s imperative to have good virus protection software installed on a pc at all times. The following is a list of things to consider when purchasing virus protection software. First, does the virus protection software come with automatic virus definition updates? This is imperative because new viruses are produced daily. All virus protection software systems work on virus definition systems. This system is simply a catalog of viruses that are currently around and the treatment action for the computer. If this system isn’t up to date, a new virus can infect the machine secretly. Good virus protection software will produce updates weekly, at a minimum. Second, does the virus protection software scrub incoming downloads and email? Some virus protection software systems only check the computer on a timed event. This means that between the two timed events a computer can become infected with a virus. A good system will do spot checks throughout the day, as well as scrub all incoming downloads and emails for any viruses. This is a must have on a good virus protection software system. Third, how many resources does the virus protection software system consume? While this has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the system, it does affect the usability of the machine running the software. If a virus protection software system is using all the available resources of a computer, it makes it impossible to use the computer productively. Regardless of what system is purchased, it is imperative that all computers have a good virus protection software system installed. The internet is a dangerous place and a good virus protection software system will allow for safe browsing.
