Why Keep an Up-To-Date Anti-Virus and Anti Spyware installed

These days viruses are not as dangerous as they used to be. But you never know. There are still virus attacks coming from spam, data and music files, web sites, and even e-mails from friends, so you cannot afford to not be protected.

At a minimum, if you are a home user or small business I recommend you buy an inexpensive but in the same time one of the most efficient and easy to use anti-virus products on the market like AVG Anti-Virus from Grisoft. Click here to learn more about AVG. You'll be glad you did!

AVG Anti-Virus will automatically notify you when new updates are available every time you log on to your computer making it easy for you to stay up-to-date.

I would also advise you to NEVER open suspicious looking e-mails or attachments. Actually if you have an antivirus like this installed you don't have to worry, but it's good to be careful. You also want to make sure anyone else using your computer knows this as well. When in doubt, delete it immediately!
Finally, avoid downloading music, free software, or other files from unknown web sites. One of the WORST types of sites to visit are peer to peer file sharing sites such as KaZaa. These web sites are breeding grounds for viruses and you are practically asking to get infected.
