When you work with a computer, doesn’t time flies? Let me guess, you’re probably on your computer about two or three hours every day. Am I right? Also, if you work on a computer at home or in some cramped cubicle, you may spend the majority of your day on a PC.

Now, I hope you’re being cautious for all the time you spend typing, surfing, downloading, reading, and sending. After all, the last thing you need is a Trojan horse or irremediable virus who will destroy your system.

Yes this can be a headache and a half. Not only can it damage your work, but it may also cost you your entire hard drive. That means all you have saved in the past; work, family photos, downloads, the whole shebang. It is pretty sure that you need some decent anti virus protection.

Last year I got hit hard. Not by a crazy shmoe in a smoky bar either. I mean at home in my own family room. That room where you believe you are safe and comfortable at all times. Sorry to say but when it comes to cyberspace, security has gone out the window. Or sometimes it look that way.

I was doing my usual web browsing. Just looking in the Internet for a few new desktops to grace my PC screen. Then unexpectedly it happened. My screen went blurry just as I downloaded a horror flick wallpaper.

What was the deal! I was certain I had excellent anti virus protection. How could I get smacked out of nowhere by a random computer virus? Well, a good thing, my laptop was not the same. I shut it down and tried to restart, but it wouldn’t comply.

I decided to see a specialist. He informed me that my system board was fried. OUCH. This was going to be costly; I could tell. He could not tell me if it was a virus when I asked him.

However, I pretty much know it was that darn horror movie wallpaper I tried to download. That is when it all started. 450 dollars later, I had a fixed computer. I went back online right away and downloaded the best free anti virus protection I was able to find. I keep on updating once every two weeks or so.

I hate that this is a never-ending story. Just as anti virus protection advances, the vicious viruses advance as well. Who in God’s name is creating this garbage and don’t they have something else to do? Just a heads up; your PC or Mac is at stake, so stay recent with your anti virus protection.
