There is lots of software claiming that they can protect your computer from viruses and malicious software – some are very good and do a great job in protecting your computer whilst others do not go far enough and let malicious software through and some even fool you into downloading ‘their’ software because they have found viruses on your computer and attempt to ‘scare’ you into buying.
You may have heard of antivirus software companies like Norton, McAfee, Sophos, Kaspersky, Panda, and the list goes on.
Another name usually associated with protecting your computer is “Internet Security” or “Endpoint Security”.
Best way to perform your research on what security software may be appropriate for you is to bring up your favourite web browser and goto ‘Google’ ‘http://www.google.com’.Type in the search area ‘antivirus software’ and you will find the most common and reputable names in security software on the first page.
