Detect and Remove Spyware

A lot of companies offer both paid and free versions of their security software. Most of these software suites are good but some can be a real drain on your system resources and some should be completely avoided.

AVG is one of the most reputable and better known internet security providers online. In my humble opinion they offer one of the best security suites out there, and it’s completely free. Version 8 provides a multi faceted approach to online security with your web browser even alerting you to dodgy websites!

The web surfing protection is very useful as it can alert you to websites that it deems could be a security threat. This is accomplished by showing different graphics merged into your web browsers search window. Specific graphics or icons informs you if caution is required or that site is ok to visit.

Unfortunately some sites do try to get you to install what is called, “rogue software”‘ onto your PC. This software does the exact opposite of what you want it for. Instead of removing virus and malware infections, it actually installs them.

The benefit of the link scanner incorporated into AVGs free anti-virus software is that it should warn you of nuisance sites that make this kind of software freely available. Forewarned is forearmed seems to apply here.

McAfee, one of the better known providers of internet security packages made this kind of technology widely popular. Ok so its obvious that AVG is at the top of my list for free antivius software but they are not the only kids on the block.

At this time I haven’t had the time to test as vigorously, other software programs offered by companies like Avast and Avira. Although I can’t attest to it personally, they do seem to have built up a good reputation in the internet security software arena.

Back full circle to, “where can I find free antivirus software.” I hope that I have given you enough relevant information for you to spend a little time researching so you can make your own informed decision. Alternatively you may decide just to take my word for it and make the AVG free download page your first port of call.
