An antivirus program is only as good as its virus definitions. Simply put if your antivirus software cannot recognize the latest threats (which is what up-to-date definitions allow it to do) then it won't be able to protect your computer or the data that is stored on it.Most persons do not pay much attention to the state of their antivirus until after their system would have been breached by the digital baddies. To avoid having to pay someone to clean up a mess that was not supposed to have happened in the first place please pay attention to the following simple tips:
- Ensure that your antivirus software has not expired - if it has, replace it immediately
- Update the virus definitions as often as the maker of the software puts out updates
- Do not just close off notifications from your antivirus software - read them, if you're not sure what the message is saying you can search for explanations on the Internet
- Deal with all threats promptly
- Should your antivirus recommend you scan your computer scan it
- Keep in mind that most free antivirus will not be as good as their paid counterpart
- Finally, remember that no antivirus program is perfect - when using your computer, especially when on the World Wide Web you do have a part to play in your computer's safety.
