​Need to keep your computer safe from bad internet  viruses and hackers, then you need an antivirus for your computer, laptop or whichever device  you normally do most of your important transactions.

In today’s world a lot of the daily transactions and chores like paying your bills and shopping is done online on your computer, laptop or mobile.  The risk of your credentials or banking passwords falling into the wrong hands are very real. Forget someone stealing your online passwords , even kidnapping your computer is very real  since the last couple of years.

A bad person can get your computer infected or hacked and plant a virus that will lock your computer and important files and you won’t be able to get into it without paying up a ransom. These types of virus that infect your computer are called ransomware.

While there is no 100% way of defending your passwords, getting a computer security product like a antivirus is a must in today’s world to at least  secure yourself against many nasties and lessen the chance of a hacker or a virus  getting into your computer and stealing your passwords.

DASHBOARD:

If you go into the settings or the dashboard you can see four tabs

dashboard for software

Events, Quarantine, Exclusions and Protections, I will explain what they all do below

​

Events ♣

Events is where it shows what scans has been done so far for your system and when it was last done. It will also show if your antivirus has been updated recently.

Quarantine æ

This is where any suspect files that has showed up in the scan will show up. Those files will get quarantined and you can check them here to see details. The files shown over here can be deleted if you think its unsafe. You can exclude or restore them if needed.

Exclusions ⊄

This is where the files that was detected as suspect, but then you said was okay will show up (in exclusion).  You can exclude files that are safe so that it doesn’t get picked up every time you run a scan. Each time the antivirus detects or blocks a website, you can exclude them from scanning  if safe. Use this with caution.

Protection ψ

This column will show a history of attacks on your computer system via software or websites and you can access more details from your dashboard whenever a threat is detected.  This is the protection shield and you can turn it on/off at the top right of this tab, but for security it is preferred to be always on.

How antivirus software works?

Computer/Laptop or  Android /Mac Devices

For computers and laptops or smart devices including tablets and smartphones, the antivirus works in a similar way to each device. Once you install the software it has a updating engine built into the software. This engine updates new virus defence definitions to your software as new viruses and malware emerge, so that your  device is protected against any new types of viruses.  Most software or antivirus providers  provide their own inbuilt  virus defence updates or then subscribe to a larger virus defence update provider and provide you with the latest security updates to your existing software.

Smartphone/Tablet

With  smartphones or tablets you install the free antivirus  through the android or apple app store. The app will get regular updates  to keep the antivirus fresh and ready to protect against any new smartphone or smart device nasties.

Smartphone Security

In today’s world the smartphone holds as much of your personal information as a computer or laptop would – sometimes even more. Today your smartphone is just like a small computer and stores most of your email logins and passwords, and bank login details and so security for devices have to be more secure than before as your personal data is spread over multiple devices.

Securing it becomes even more important because of this. The first things you should do is activate remote delete on your phone in case it gets lost or stolen.

You can do this for free by using your Google Gmail account or your Samsung account. For apple or IOS devices there is the inbuilt tracker on their devices too attached to your apple id. They are also special free and paid apps that you can download from the app store to do this same thing.

The second and more important layer of security you need is a smartphone antivirus software or app. This product will protect your smartphone the same way software protects your pc/computer against viruses, hackers, malware and dodgy apps.

It will scan and alert you about any insecure apps, software, files on your phone and block them. This software now has ability to secure your device in real time as well.

Below are some top security software providers that have multi device internet security plans and also single device plans that can get your device secured.

Mcafee vs Norton 2018

McAfee and Norton (also called Symantec) are both familiar names in the antivirus realm, but how do they compare to each other in a head-to-head battle for dominance?

Prices differ as prices keep changing with promo deals being released. However, right now as a comparison between 1 device vs. 5 devices cover, you can see that MacAfee has a lower price than Norton.

Norton’s suite is more extensive, including features such as safe reboot, email support, social media protection, and chat and instant messaging protection. McAfee scores well regarding usability, but Norton is more reliable in protecting against new and existing threats.

The feature set for both cover the basic features as well as some add-ons, so this is where it would be a decider for you if it is not the price.

Three great Free anti virus software for you as good as the paid ones

November 29, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

These antivirus programs are free and made by legitimate software producers  and  if you are thinking why they  are giving it free, there is a reason.  Like  all strugglers you have to provide top class service  to get the top position and its no different for these Antivirus software makers. They are not strugglers  but already established  antivirus  vendors but they want more people to try their software  before they can buy the full versions  and so they are giving their software away for free. If you like it  and want a buy a premium version ( with some extra features ) you will have to pay for it otherwise it remains free.

3 Free antivirus  Software providers

These links below will take you to these free antivirus download website pages

1. AVG Antivirus

Avg antivirus free version download

2. Avira Antivirus

Avira Free antivirus download prices free version

3. Avast antivirus

Avast antivirus download free version

Some of these Antivirus  are as good as the established players in this market like Mcafee antivirus , Kapersky Anti virus and Norton antivirus  and infact offer some innovative features that they don’t as well. These free software also scans your computer for rootkits  which is awesome  and is  also considered a premium feature in some software’s.

Infact i was so impressed with  one of these free programs ( AVG antivirus ) that  i went ahead and bought  a full version AVG antivirus  for $39.99  from the internet from amazon  and is it going great. Full version of these other free software are also available on Amazon

There is also a  tool from Trend micro to do a online scan  on your computer by downloading thier software you can check out more about it here.
