Do you go on naughty sites or watch films online? If so, you may already be infected. Here is my guide to sorting your computer out.
Ok guys, my biggest pet hate (apart from clowns on the register) is virus issues and scum bags who try and steal innocent people's credit card details.
Many of you probably feel that your already protected with a free virus program that you downloaded or a virus protection software that came with your computer, well maybe against some stuff.
I have worked with this software for many years now and will not comment on other brands but Eset is by far the only virus protection that I would recommend.
Why?
- It is the best value (3 user licenses are cheaper than 1 from other brands, so you can protect the whole family)
- It wins awards year on year due to it detecting the most new viruses
- It is light on your computer and will not slow it down whilst scanning as many others do.
Do not got to PC world when yours runs out and spend £30-£50 on a poor VP just because you know the name or renew your current one just because it is easier, save some money and actually protect your computer, it can be awful being hacked or being a victim of fraud.
My friend recently got hacked and they used her e-mail address to tell her friends and family that she had been mugged whilst on holiday and needed urgent funds so she could get home, how awful, what would you do if you were not sure if it was them? You may not risk leaving them there stranded but that is the kind of scams these people use.
Another typical virus protection scam, is that you visit a site and they install fake virus software, you reboot and it says you have lots of virus issues and then it asks for £30 to get the license and clean them up, the software is fake, there are no viruses, they just want your credit card details.
Be careful guys and feel free to ask me if you get any internet security issues.
The 3 user license is the same price as 1 user (see below) so protect your whole family.
