Now, I hope you're being cautious for all the time you spend typing, surfing, downloading, reading, and sending. The last thing you want after all is a Trojan horse or bad virus destroying your system.
Yes this can be very annoying. Not only could it damage what you were doing, but it can also destroy your whole hard drive. That means saved material such as: work, family photos, downloads, the whole shebang. It is pretty sure that you could do with some decent anti virus protection.
Last year I got hit hard. Not by some crazy shmoe in a smoky bar either. I mean at home in my own family room. That place where you feel secure and comfortable every day. Sorry to say but security has gone out the window when it comes to cyberspace. Or at least it seems this way at times.
I was performing my usual web browsing. Just searching the net for a few new desktops to grace my computer screen. Then unexpectedly it happened. Just as I downloaded a horror flick wallpaper, my screen went fuzzy.
What was happening! I was sure I had excellent anti virus protection. How could I get smacked out of nowhere by some random computer virus? Well, a good thing, my laptop was not the same. I shut it down and tried to restart, but it would not comply.
I decided to see a specialist. He told me that my system board was fried. OUCH. This was going to be pricy; I could tell. He could not tell me if it was a virus when I asked him.
However, I pretty much know it was that darn horror movie wallpaper I tried to download. That's when it all happened. 425 dollars later, I had a fixed computer. I immediately got back online and downloaded the best free anti virus protection I was able to find. I keep on updating once every couple weeks or so.
I hate that this is a never-ending story. Just as anti virus protection advances, the nasty viruses advance as well. Who in God's name is creating this garbage and don't they have something better to do? Take my advice; your PC or Mac is at stake, so stay recent with your anti virus protection.
