Something very few people know is that they don’t have to pay for virus, spy ware or ad ware protection. Online there are many different companies that provide protection software that is completely free of charge, but is actually ranked higher and more secure then paid for software like Norton Anti-Virus and McAfee.

The real problem people have with using free software is that everyone thinks it will be harder to use, but the opposite is true. For example, the best virus protection for free online, according to Download.com, is AVG anti virus.

AVG does not only have rock solid protection though, they also include an automatic updater and scanner so all the busy work is done when you are not using your computer, perhaps the most important time to have protection.

On top of those tools is the fact that there is no confusing gibberish or hundreds of pop-up windows alerting you of new viruses. AVG just has a simple box that pop-ups and alerts that you are infected, and asks whether you want to delete the virus or quarantine it.

Choose what you want done, and that is all, you can go back to surfing the internet or whatever else you were doing. You can download the free version of AVG at free.grisoft.com and try it out for your self. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed, as I have not been for the past two years I have used it.
