AVG Virus Protection

Do I need Virus Protection on my computer is a question we are frequently asked. The answer is yes, every email you send and every web site you visit provide a risk to your computer. In the digital age we live in, individuals and companies prey on unsuspecting computer owners. Just by typing an incorrect web site, you could be susceptible to a virus. There are email scams that come from all over the world. While nothing is 100% fool-proof, having a reliable virus protection program can eliminate the majority of threats to your computer.

Everyone is familiar with Norton and McAfee. One or the other is generally shipped with new PC’s. Both are known names, but not the best on the market. Norton/ McAfee both run constantly in the background and use of a large amount of system memory. In addition, they have a lot of unnecessary “bells and whistles” that really serve no purpose other than catch your attention.

18 Visions Design recommends AVG Virus Protection. AVG is made by Grisoft and provides excellent virus protection. Not only is AVG a superior product to Norton/McAfee, but it’s free! There are pay versions that provide more options, but the average computer user can use AVG Free for their virus protection needs. Not to mention AVG is a very simple program to use and requires very little system memory.
