Spyware and Viruses

One of the more unexpected ways a virus can invade your computer is by infecting it from a brand new digital photo frame.

These particularly nasty viruses and trojans may disable antivirus software on infected drives and even prevent access to certain security sites. Creating a rescue disk using an uninfected computer is often the only way to totally remove the virus.

Being the owner of an anti virus information website I often get asked if there is any way to get protected for free from some of the bigger companies such as AVG or McAfee. Well the short answer to this is that it depends upon what offers the companies have on at the time. But many people already own products by these companies and wish to get the latest version. One of the most common searches on my site is from people wanting a free download update anti virus Norton. They already have Norton but want to upgrade for free.  Again this is sometimes possible but it really depends on what offers the company have at the time. It maybe that if you buy one product you get another one free or at a reduced cost. There are lots of things you can do to get a free anti virus download but don’t count on Norton giving away too much.
