Still Have Trouble With Your Personal Computer?

If you're done with disk cleanup, disk defragmenter, and RegSeeker but still had problem regarding slow performance of your PC, you might still have a problem or you need to upgrade your PC. But this time, I want to share about the need for an anti-virus. Mine is just a free version. Although free version is limited only with few features, it doesn't matter! What is important is to download and install an anti-virus that work effectively against viruses.

Anti-virus softwares is an effective guard against any computer viruses, trojans, worms, malicious programs, and so on. But the fact is, free version can only detect a limited number or types of virus. However, you can buy a license to be totally protected. Because I can't afford to buy a licensed one, I just keep clinging on the free one. I ensure that my PC is working properly by scanning for viruses 2-3 times a month. At least, I know whether I'm am attacked or not. Once you have installed an anti-virus, always keep it updated. As a rule, keep it active too. Just google it, Download and install it in C: drive, under program files which is the default destination. Click screenshot.


In the screenshot, I've shown you already the kind of anti-virus I'm using. Yes, it is an Avira anti-virus. I've been using this since 2 years. So far, I got no problem using this free software. Anyway, if you just use your computer for personal only, then this is enough. And it depends on you if you want another beside Avira. Just fine. 

For me, Avira is tough and truly detects removable devices and hard disk for certain viruses. It is easy to use. It normally ask you to confirm your action whether to quarantine, repair, ignore or delete a certain programs found to be a virus. So, you might decide base upon your knowledge of certain files or programs found in your system. If you're unsure about an action, just quarantine such files found and decide later.
