Antivirus and Tools

Is your computer under attack? Many people are unaware of the serious consequences of not maintaining efficient antivirus software to protect your computer from attack. People are even surfing the internet with no antivirus system installed or when their antivirus system has expired.

An expired antivirus system is almost the same as having no antivirus system installed. Antivirus programs are updated with new virus definitions as they are discovered and this is normally available for free update from the software designer. By not updating your antivirus software regularly, the antivirus program is unable to detect new viruses and your system is vulnerable to attack.

The initial attack of a virus on your computer system may not be easily detected. This infection, in itself, does not normally stop your system. It just opens the door to further multiple attacks of viruses, by opening ports on your system so that more viruses may be downloaded. These viruses unblock the firewall on your system or even turn it off. It also overrides your antivirus system and makes it ineffective.

Over a period of time, these viruses hog system memory and slow down your computer considerably. Your system begins to act erratically and you may think that it is component failure. Some systems fail to boot up, while others boot into blank screens and your system is in serious need of attention. Many antivirus software are relatively and can help you to reduce the number of attacks on your system. At this stage, I should point out that no antivirus system can totally prevent your system from being infected, since the user normally allows the installation of the virus, under the impression that it is a legitimate file.

Browsing some sites can also cause your system to be infected, without an effective antivirus system. Norton Antivirus System has served the community for several years, but lost their market in 2007. Their 2007 version used too much system resources and slowed down its operations. They made an improvement in 2008 and finally starting to recover with their 2009 version. Their 2010 version brings them back into the South African market, but their pricing causes many users to opt for other alternatives.

Bitdefender gained some ground in the South African market, with the failure of Norton Antivirus 2007 and currently, their 3 user license version was the most economical option to those with multiple computer systems.
