Installing AntiVirus software on your components is very important. Its even more important
to maintain the virus definition files. Without updated definition files, your computer is susceptible
to new and emerging viruses, malware and malicious code that could take over your computer
and steal your personal information.

The good thing is that there are many different types of AntiVirus and Malware protection
software on the internet. You don't necessarily have to buy the latest commercial product.
Researching the products that are freely available may be more cost-effective and will
provide much of the same services that a commercially available product has to offer.

Just remember that there is no guarantee against viruses and malware. Having the right software installed and up-to-date helps combat against infection, but complete protection is not possible.
As a computer user, you should be aware of the websites you visit, keep your computer fully
patched, never open emails from unknown sources and never click on links in suspicious emails.
