Norton Anti-Virus and Mcafee Virus Scan may be
the best on the market and you can get them for
less than $100,
it's a good investment if you think about how
much valuable information you might lose in case
you're hit by
a Virus. Even some companies give you a FREE
Virus Utility with every Computer purchase.
Buying an Anti-Virus is not enough, every day new
viruses are born, and you should update your
software regularly to detect them.
If your program says: No Viruses were Found don't
be so sure, first check to see if you have
recently updated your Anti-Virus, if not,
download the most recent update and scan again,
you may be surprised to find a virus lurking on
your Hard Drive.
Viruses are getting even nastier and smarter,
Viruses can now trick your Anti-Virus: using its
Stealth capabilities, sometimes the Virus can get
a away.
Many Viruses are triggered at a certain date: CIH
was set to activate on April 26th.
Viruses have variants or clones: a Virus can be
altered by
a programmer to be more destructive and bypass
any detection software. Don't count on your Anti-Virus,
sometimes even after detection, it's too late. Continue>>> |
