What is in a box sometimes or on a server that needs to be downloaded that can potentially save your digital assets? An Anti-virus<\/a> program and some people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t own a legal copy nor feel the need to own a copy. Risky and na\u00c3\u00afve, is my thoughts on non-ownership. My own experiences are that it can haunt you when the needed safety net which an anti-virus provides is found lacking. When you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have an anti-virus installed and updated on your home PC or notebook, re-installation of software<\/a> becomes a hobby and data loss is a time consuming process. The question will be constantly asked, why did I not buy an anti virus?<\/p>\n

Think back, how many times have you clicked on a link and either had your Antivirus halt proceedings or your browser pop up a window, informing you that you are about to access a unsecure zone. I suspect the answer would be multiple times. Your digital assets are all in one piece due to your anti-virus software.<\/p>\n

There are multiple options available: BitDefender<\/a>, Computer Associates<\/a>, ESET<\/a>, AVG<\/a>, McAfee<\/a> and Symantec<\/a>. I find that the best is to use the software first via a free download or a trial before purchasing a copy helps. You then understand the software<\/a> and how it protects\/interferes with your computer. The interfering I refer to is all those messages that say that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153this update\/file\/application is harmful\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which can become frustrating.<\/p>\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get caught without an Antivirus<\/a>, it is a good investment.<\/p>\n
