Many years ago the first computer virus was created and soon to follow many more, leading to the birth of the first antivirus software. Since then the computer viruses have developed into more and more sophisticated programs making it harder and harder to develop reliable security programs to combat the ever growing number of computer viruses.
This is why a PC must never be left unprotected. If you do, it is no longer a matter of "if" your PC gets infected but rather "when". Always have the latest antivirus software installed. It is easy and it doesn't require you to do anything else once it is up and running. All updates and scanning tasks are done for you automatically.
I have never had a computer without protecting it, but still I have managed to attract computer viruses. I realized this was because I never let the antivirus software do a full system scan. It seems that even if the software monitors all activities, some viruses may still slip by and for this reason complete scans must be carried out every now and then. While installing security programs you should always check these settings, making sure the scans run once or twice a week.
Most PC security solutions contain virus protection as an integral part of them. These are also the most effective programs giving a more complete protection against all kinds of malware.
It can be difficult to choose which antivirus software to buy since there are many on the market. The best thing to do is read reviews either on the web or in magazines before purchasing a security solution for your PC. Key factors to look for is performance, compatibility and size of their virus definition database.
