To stem the global spread of computer viruses, users should have and install Antivirus software on every computer! For many of you, particularly the individuals that are in fixed income situations (i.e. seniors and students), ponying up $50 a year for Antivirus software may not be very economical. If you are in this category or just someone who believes in the mantra of “not wanting to pay for software”, there is a couple of free solutions you can download:
- AVG Antivirus 7.0 (Free Edition). Free of charge for non-commerical and home use. Bonus: all antivirus updates/definitions can be downloaded free of charge too!
