Some Good Suggestions For Anti-Virus
Each and every person has their own favorites for their standard every day anti-virus, but which one is correct? The answer is whichever one you feel most comfortable with! Most often the best anti-virus will fluctuate weekly based on the most up to date and who has the best interface. We would suggest checking into Kaspersky, AVG, and Avast. That being said, anti-viruses like McAfee, Norton, and Trend Micro will work effectively as long as you keep your anti-virus up-to-date. Remember it is a good idea to schedule your anti-virus to run weekly on its own.
