Everyone knows they need an Antivirus program. But which one is best? And are any of them free? Let’s break this down. First, you MUST have an antivirus program on your system, free or not. Some of the best for-pay products are Symantec, Trend Micro, and McAfee, and AVG. But what if you don’t have a lot of money to burn. My favorite free antivirus program is, believe it or not, made by Microsoft. Security Essentials does one of the best jobs I’ve seen and doesn’t eat up your computer’s processing power. It ranks well in the industry tests which pit antivirus programs against each other. Once you install it, there’s nothing you need to do. It scans all by itself. It updates itself when it needs to. And best of all, it puts a little cute green house in your system tray. What more could you ask for?
