What
is a Antivirus Sofware?
Antivirus software can be installed on your
machine to help eliminate the possibility of Virus infection
on your computer. Many Antivirus programs can be setup to
automatically detect a Virus, Worm, or Trojan Horse upon
BEFORE it becomes a problem. We thoroughly recomend purchase
a good, commercial antivirus program like Norton
Antivirus or Mcafee
Virusscan. Most
commercial antivirus programs are reasonably inexpensive
and can be purchased from Vaxxine.
Alternatives: Although
perhaps not as reliable as the commercial programs mentioned
above, there are some low-cost or free alternatives available
on the Internet. If you don't have a reliable Antivirus
software such as Norton Antivirus or Mcafee Virusscan, at
the very least, protect yourself with one of these alternative
antivirus utilities below.
