Choosing Anti-Virus Software
- Image via Wikipedia
There are a number of companies that provide software solutions to virus, Trojan, and internet worm attacks. It can be really confusing when you compare three different software packages from five different companies trying to find the one that is right for you. With that in mind, there are several very important things that you need to consider when choosing antivirus software:
1) How often/fast are the virus definitions updated. You want the answer to be “As soon as a new threat is found”.
2) Are the virus definitions updated automatically by the software? You want the answer to be “YES”.
3) Can you configure the software to check for updates every time you go online? You want the answer to be “YES”.
4) Is the software “smart” so that it can find viruses it doesn’t even know about yet? You want the answer to be “YES”.
5) Can it scan incoming and outgoing email automatically? You want the answer to be “YES”.
6) Can you configure it once to perform automatic scans of your entire computer on a regular schedule? You want the answer to be “YES”.
7) Does it provide a way to ‘clean out’ any viruses etc. that are found? You want the answer to be “YES”.
Are upgrades to the software package performed automatically, regularly, and at no cost? You want the answer to be “YES”.
There are a few major players in the field that you should know about in order to make an informed decision about which antivirus software solution to buy and use. There are Norton Antivirus, Trend Micro’s PC-cillin, and McAfee Antivirus. Sophos and Grisoft’s AVG are also very god choices. All of the top antivirus solutions will provide each of the eight points above (and more).
There are quite a few smaller players on the market as well. In many cases they are quite good. However, most of the smaller players in this market don’t have the resources (yet) to keep up with constantly changing virus threats. For now I would recommend staying away from them. Not because they are poor products, but simply because they aren’t able to consistently provide each of the eight requirements above.
The first few days after a new virus appears are often when it can do the most damage. The sooner you get an update the better. The big 3 will provide automatic updates to new threats usually within days of a new virus being found. Sophos and AVG are similar. Smaller players may take several days to provide updates, which are often not automatic.
This should be enough basic information to help you on your way to choosing a good antivirus software. If you’d like to learn more first, there is plenty to read at http://www.antivirus-report.com/antivirus-software.html

Speed up your PC
SPEED UP YOUR PC
This is a very common question of everyone that my computer is very slow and what can I do for speed up my computer?
There are several things that can speed up your computer and increase the performance. You may have noticed that a newer computer is much faster than the older computer.
Many people prefer to use new computers because of their speed and ease of working. You willingly spend more time working on the newer fast computer as compared to working on the older computer. So your perception is that your older computer is getting slower and slower. But in reality it can become as faster as a new computer by just implementing few following things.
Now we come to the real question: How to speed up a computer, whether it’s slowing down or not. Here are the few steps if you follow them you can speed up your computer.
Clean up the disk. First of all you have to uninstall the programs that run at the startup and put something in the system tray. Run Disk Cleanup and defragment utility.
This is a first good step that saves sometime of system boot up and applications loading.
Run a full anti-virus and anti-spyware scan. Next step is to run a full system scan for viruses, spywares, adwares, malware and Trojan horses with some good anti viruses and anti spyware/malware tools.
The good antivirus software is Trend Micro Antivirus, Norton Antivirus, Panda Antivirus and McAfee antivirus. These antivirus software/tools can help you get rid of pc-clogging detritus on your computer, viruses, temp files, old registry entries and spywares. Your computer can be secure with all these kind of threats if you enable a good antivirus on your computer.
Delete old network connections. Your computer can try to connect to the old network/shared connections and hard drives connections that are no longer exist. You can simply right click on any network share and delete them if it no longer exists. Under tools, also click on the “Disconnect Network Driveâ€.
Stop auto-starting programs. Next step is to click start > run and type “msconfig at the command prompt. Now from the startup remove all the unwanted programs that run at the time when system boots up. This will definitely increase the speed of your system. You can turn off anything that looks useless but be careful not to remove Windows system components.
Clean up the registry. Registry cleaning is a not a simple task because the changes are not reversible so only the expert people should work in the Windows Registry. Some expert says that registry cleaner don’t really work and help. I have seen some good software for registry cleaning and system speed up. CCleaner is among one of them and you can use it for increasing the performance of your computer.
Those are the easy and free things you can do. If your computer is still slow you need to move on to the bigger guns.
Reinstall Windows. If the above mentioned steps haven’t helped then it may be the time to reformatting your hardware disk, reinstalling your applications and reinstalling your Windows. You may be surprised by seeing that how much responsive is the Windows as you have wiped out years of temp files, registry entries and old versions of the software program that have not been upgraded repeatedly.
Reinstalling is easy if you have got the recovery disk. There is a one more option and that is to take the image of your hard disk with Norton ghost. Norton ghost can recover the Windows in it original working stage when it was newly installed just in minutes. An image of the hard disk drives can be taken with this software and can be recovered. But be assured to back up everything before your start your work.
Upgrade RAM. This is one of the most important steps to run the computer faster. With the older computer you will rarely have enough RAM to run. Adding RAM is a very simple and even a novice can add it and increase the speed in few minutes. Adding a high quality RAM will give a quick speed to your computer. Today’s RAM sticks have the greater capacity and speed than before.
Upgrade your hard drive. Upgrading a hard disk is a more complicated solution but if you are upgrading/reinstalling Windows then you may consider upgrading the hard disk as well. Hard Disk storage is a performance bottleneck on every computer. The magnetic disks tend to decrease their performance over time. Some performance and speed issues are caused by the hard disks failure. You can also use the new Hard disks for backups and occasional use.
I hope that the tips I provided you to increase speed/performance of your computer, will definitely help you.
Where to find free antivirus software downloading programs – Part 1
As a long time Norton user I was surprised to find that McAfee was offering a free version of their software. I have always been happy with my Norton Security Suite, but after hearing all of the complaints from other users about how much Norton slowed down their systems, I decided that perhaps I should review an alternative.
As far as Norton goes it is in my opinion simply the best security suite out there and perhaps that is my own bias. I did have some issues with my computer slowing down after installing the Norton Internet Security 2008, but there was a fix available and it was just a matter of defragging the hard drive after the installation process.
The first thing that I noticed when I installed the McAfee Security Suite was that there was no difference in the speed of my PC. It seemed to fall seamlessly in line with the rest of my software and I did not have to do anything special to make it work. I must say that Norton did a fine job of keeping my system free of viruses and such, but then again I do not really do anything with my PC that would make it to subject to such things.
My friends PCs on the other hand are a different story and this is where I was able to see the difference between the two security suites. My friends are hardcore Norton users as well, however, when their subscriptions expired I installed the McAfee software for them and low and behold viruses were Trojans were found in the form of mp3s downloaded from Limewire.
Yes, believe it or not, downloading from Limewire may lead to your PC being infected with viruses. Just kidding but not really, the actual point of the matter is that McAfee found infections that Norton did not. I have noticed that my Internet connection and even my computer slow down when there is an update or a virus scan active. However, these can be scheduled through the “Scheduled Tasks” tool in Windows.
Just go into the McAfee listed task and edit the settings so that they only happen when you are least likely to be using your computer. The only catch to receiving McAfee Security Suite for free is that you must sign up for an AOL email account. Nevertheless, an AOL email account is totally free as well and you can always use it as a junk mail account for when you sign up to win those free notebooks online.
When all is said and done I would have to give McAfee Security Suite a 4 out of 5 sunsets. This is due in large part to the simple installation process, the limited amount of user interaction needed, and the detection of Trojans that other scanners managed to miss.

Renew And Update Your Antivirus Software Today
PC users are facing new computer viruses every day. Computer viruses not only affect home PCs, they clog up internet traffic and disrupt the business of big corporations, causing billion dollars worth of damage each year. To protect your computer and stop the spread of these malicious programs on the internet, you should renew your antivirus software and update it regularly.
The number of computer viruses is increasing at a shocking rate. In 2003, 7 new viruses were unleashed each day. In 2004, more than 10,000 new viruses and their variants were identified. These new viruses include viruses, worms and Trojan horses and they attack the computer in many different ways. Some cause damage to the boot sector, hardware, software or data files. Some create security leaks in the system. Others may use the computer to spread spam e-mails.
Viruses, worms and Trojan horses also spread by different means. Viruses are usually transferred from one computer to another by sharing infected files or e-mail attachments. Worms replicate and spread by e-mail programs. Trojan horses are often downloaded and run by computer users who do not know the true nature of these programs.
The best antivirus software detect and remove viruses, worms and Trojan horses before they infect your system and use advanced script stopping technology. Although there are many new antivirus programs available these days, consumers should remain vigilant. Beware of all the free scans and free downloads from unknown software publishers. Some claim to be antivirus software but in fact, they add adware to your computer.
If you are looking for an antivirus software, you should only buy from reputable software publishers such as Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, etc. Remember to renew the license annually and enable the automatic update. This ensures that you are using the most updated detection database.

Antivirus Software – Protect Your Pc From Malicious Virus Threats
Many computer users have had the unfortunate experience of computer virus infecting their PCs. Make no mistake, these viruses are not the biological ones that spread from one sick person to another, but do have similar traits in that computer viruses are just as contagious, and spread and infect computers very quickly over the internet.
Technically speaking, a computer virus is a form of executable code. These viruses are designed to cause malfunctions on the affected computer. When other computers are connected to this infected machine, the virus replicates itself to enter and infect the other PC.
You might have heard of the Worms or Trojans, which are viruses that are designed to steal important personal information such as your ID or passwords or account numbers etc that reside on your computer. They can also enable the particular virus to gain access into a machine and then hijack control of the infected computer. Other viruses, especially the macro viruses, are designed in such a way that they can delete or overwrite system or data files in the affected computer.
Installing antivirus software is by far the best solution to protect your PC from attacks from these computer viruses. The best known antivirus software are the Norton, McAfee and Panda, which come with features such as inbuilt firewall and direct access to online back up. These antivirus software also have the ability to deactivate the malicious viruses.
The antivirus software protects your computer from virus attacks following two main methods, the first method being prevention, and the second one cleaning. The preventive function involves stopping new viruses from entering your PC, while the cleaning function involves detection and extermination of the old viruses. The protective tasks include such procedures as monitoring emails, P2P downloads and internet connections. On the other hand, the virus cleaning part includes procedures such as scanning of your computer, detecting viruses and then eliminating them from the computer system.
Antivirus software are generally very efficient in dealing with harmful computer viruses. Even so, computer users are recommended to follow certain safety rules to tighten the protection even more:
* A common mistake most people tend to make is to open unsolicited emails that contain virus, either unknowingly or absent-mindedly. Never open such emails if you want to protect your precious data from getting lost once and for all.
* Another precautionary measure involves not opening any attachment sent with an email. Unless you are sure of its source and what it contains, it is usually better to just delete this mail with the doubtful attachment.
* Make sure to also use a personal firewall.
Basic Steps To Optimize Your Internet Security
After seeing many people complain about their weak Internet security I decided to write down some things that will help you for your Internet security.
First, here are some tips to make windows safer :
For basic security and update patches install Service Pack 2 for Windows XP or Service Pack 4 for Windows 2000.
Once a month use Windows Update so you can get the latest pacthes.
When you download software from the Internet make sure you download it from the original website.
Always run anti Trojan and anti virus software.
Even if you don’t use it you have to make your Internet Explorer as safe as possible.
When you access the Internet you are browsing the web using a browser such as Internet Explorer.The Internet Explorer contains several security vulnerabilities. You should make it as safe as possible or switch your default browser to an alternative. You will have to set some options from the Manage Add-Ons in the Internet Options. You will see a list of add-ons that can be activated or deactivated. If you see any unusual entries just deactivate them so you can be sure you don’t have a trojan/worm.
Under Internet Options -> Security -> Internet -> you will see the Edit Level.You should set it to high in order to disable most of the security threats.
Your Web Browser should be ok now. Let’s see what we have to do from our email point of view.
Because it’s built-in in their Windows system lots of users like to use Outlook Express for emailing. But it’s a fact that it contains many security vulnerabilities so I advise you to use alternatives. If you use a web based Email (you can browse your email with your web browser) you can delete viruses even if you don’t download them to your PC.
Make sure you have installed an Anti Virus for 100% virus protection. One that I’ve found to be very good and never disappointed me is the AVG Anti virus. If you take the time to regularly update it you will be safe enough with it.
Lots of people install Firewalls because they belive their Internet security will be higher. I personaly disagree. If you do not know how to best configure it, and you have to know much about the tech behind it to do so, it will just make your PC slow and software not working.You can just use the Windows XP SP2 firewall for basic security.
All this tips should make your PC safer. I browse the Internet every single day for some time now and they worked great for me. I haven’t met a virus/worm for some time now.

Get protection from prying eyes
Should I use an antivirus program, or an internet security suite to protect my privacy on internet? This has been the most important question which strikes in the mind of various people who are connected to the Internet. They are worried about protecting their privacy when they are connected to Internet. Some use the paid version of the antivirus programs while others make use of the online privacy protection suites for protecting their privacy.
A major concern for the Internet users is privacy. Internet is expanding at very high pace, so with this extraordinary expansion it gave rise to a large number of privacy issues, which has been very difficult to solve and address.
There are some websites which allows users to gain information on any individual, verification of assets, background searches, checking the criminal record of any person, civil judgments, property ownership record and many more by paying a very nominal charge.
So, if someone with cruel intentions need to get more information about any individual then these websites are the correct place to find search information. The ways to compromise the data privacy on internet is based on certain aspects like the ability to handle the type and sequence of information Internet.
The spams and unsolicited emails violates the privacy of a user computer system. The unsolicited e-mails carries the suspicious links which is directed to a location that contains malicious code and certain harmful threats. There are some websites which are capable of tracking the users footsteps by making sue of a cookie which is stored on the users computer. Whereas the others require the users to enter their personal information and their interest, which are recorded and maintained in their database.
The cookies are able to store the information about a computer system, so many users are unaware of the transfer of information which might be occurring because of cookies. So, the use of cookies can be considered as an ethical issue. Various companies engaged in the online transactions are unable to completely ensure the privacy of the user on Internet. The antivirus application from a trust worthy source will be able to prevent information theft to some extent thereby ensuring the privacy to some extent.
There have been various types of international regulatory and self-regulatory initiatives taken for finding out the solution to this issue of privacy. But there has been a very little growth in handling online privacy.
