How
Preventing Viruses
The easiest way to prevent viruses on your computer is to make sure you have a good antivirus program and that it is up to date and running. Antivirus programs are usually a yearly subscription. You can find free options but we believe you get what you pay for. We suggest using bitdefender. If you are looking for a low cost option the best option is either ESET or Webroot.
This however does not guarantee that you will not get any viruses. In these cases it is always a good idea to have a back up of your data. We suggest using a cloud backup of some sort, we recommend carbonite.com. Contact us today to find simple ways to keep your data backed up and safe.
