Virus protection free

Archive for November, 2009

As mentioned in the introductory post on free virus protection, we will take a look at various free virus protection programs that are available on the Internet. Some of them to the job spot on, and other should be left alone.

The first free product we are going to discuss is AVG Free virus protection program. It is in my experience one of the very best virus protection programs out there and is also free for home users.

I’ve been using AVG Antivirus Free Edition on my home computer for a couple of years now and I am very satisfied with it. In all this time I have never experienced any problems, related to virus activity. If AVG free virus protection finds a threath of some sort it deals with it in standard way – either it moves it to a vault or asks you, what you want to do with it.

You have to be a bit careful with installation, because several times during the installation of the free virus protection program, the installer suggest you should rather use the full AVG Internet Security, which is giving you many more options for protections and is free for the first 30 days, but you have to pay for it after this period. So if you want to install the free virus protection, do not just click the first option you see during the installation.

AVG Free Edition is actually one of my favourite programs I use and if you are looking for a good free virus protection program, I can recomend it to you wholeheartedly.

Welcome to a blog, where we will discuss virus protection programs and techniques. We will take a look at various virus protection options, but will focus on the free ones that are available on the internet.

There are several virus protection programs available for home users that are available 100% free. And the best part is, they are in many cases right on par with payable programs. But of course, you have to know, which ones are good to test and which ones are better left alone.

Expect new information and advice on this blog in coming weeks and months.
