Virus Removal Software
The word 'virus' is the most talked about word in the computer world,
along with it's partner, 'spyware'. They are both equally disliked by every
computer user, especially if you are unlucky enough to have one. Even if
your computer hasn't been infected with a virus, most problems are usually
blamed on them.
The sure fire way to avoid any confusion is to ensure that your computer
has proper virus removal software installed. By 'proper' I mean if you are
going to buy any software it should be virus removal software. Get all your
other programs and software for free but do not skimp on your antivirus
program.
How do I choose the right antivirus removal software for my computer?
Good Question! Every computer is different and each computer user
requires a different amount of protection. For example if your computer does
not even have an internet connection and you do not share files, then I do
not see a need for you to install any virus removal software. On the other
hand, if your computer connects to the internet for even a second, you need
protection.
The level of protection varies. If you download files and programs from
the internet then you should be protecting your computer with the best anti
virus software available. That does not mean you have to spend hundreds of
dollars though. If you read through the reviews below you will be able to
choose the right antivirus removal software for you.
What is virus removal software? Is it the same as antivirus software?
Virus removal software and antivirus software are the same thing. Each
software developer calls their particular program a different thing. In the
end, all antivirus software is meant to do the same thing, alert you about
viruses, quarantine them, or remove them. Many antivirus software also now
include complete internet security. This means it will include an antivirus
program along with other security features such as a internet firewall.
Tips4pc Top 4 Antivirus software programs for 2009/2010
I am just going to give you my honest opinion and review on my top 4
antivirus programs. The reason I have chosen these particular programs is I
have actually used them and tested them for myself. Each banner leads to
more information about the antivirus program in question. If you do buy a
program after pressing one of these banner Tips4pc will get a commission as
we are affiliates for all programs. At least 3 of the banners offer either a
free program or a free software trial before you buy. This is great if you
are short on cash at the moment.
AVG Antivirus
Most people know about AVG because there is a free version available to
download that does a really good job. I would gladly install the free
version on AVG on a persons computer if they were not willing to buy an
antivirus program. I have tested the free version for about two years and it
did the job, although I did eventually end up with a virus and had to
reformat my computer. This was no acceptable in my case and therefore I had
to upgrade to the paid version. If you are just using the internet to check
your emails and buy stuff on Ebay then you should be fine with this program.
AVG Free includes an email scanner.
Avast Antivirus Professional
This is what I use now. I actually downloaded the free 60 trial and then
ended up buying the program. It was absolutely amazing. It would update
itself, and other than that you would not even know it existed, until the
warnings came through... WOW.. This program picks up everything! Even if I
put a disc in the disc drive it would find a virus on that..Even though the
disc is old and no other virus checkers had picked it up before.. You do not
have to take my word for it because you can download the trial version and
try it. It has no limitations but expires after 60 days. So you get to try
the full program. Not like some programs that scan your computer for viruses
and then tell you to buy the program to get rid of them.
Avast!
Professional Edition - award winning antivirus & antispyware software. Try,
free of charge, for a 60 day trial period!
Norton Antivirus
If you buy a new computer you will most likely have a trial version of
Norton Antivirus installed for you. I did use this program for countless
years, however it was a resource hog. That means it slowed your computer
down considerably, however I believe that the new 2010 version has improved
greatly. This is one of the best antivirus programs out there but is not
completely user friendly. This is why I recommend this program to the
experienced computer user.

ZoneAlarm
I started using ZoneAlarm when it was just a plain old firewall program.
It was the absolute best. Now it incorporates a complete internet security
suite including antivirus. Of course it is and always was a great program
but I unfortunately found something else in the mean time. This is one of
the best security programs you can install on your computer, however it is
not for the newbie computer user.
