Viruses are continually a threat to your computer. If you have adequate disk space and RAM, yet your computer starts acting strangely, this could be a sign that a virus may have infected your PC. Simply installing the latest virus protection software isn't enough. Make sure your virus protection software has the latest updates and update frequently.

Recommended Virus software:

Below are some of the programs that we recommend and use ourselves. You can download some of the files directly from here or visit the company's website.
Program
File*

McAfee -

Symantec -
Norton Personal Firewall. Good user interface.
-
Trend -

Highly recommended program. Free version is available.
* If you download one of these programs from here, make sure you run the updates after installing. These Programs are updated regularly. We will change these files to the latest versions every 3 months.

We recommend when installing virus protection software to confirm that background scanning is ON for Internet and Email accesses. Just because you loaded new software doesn't mean it's doing its job while you're not looking.
