David H. Lipman Posted November 23, 2015 ID:1003039 Share Posted November 23, 2015 My thoughts are always the same... All the software in the world will not protect you if you don't practice Safe Hex. That is have situational awareness and when you use the computer and access the Internet, use caution. Just like the caution you may use when crossing a busy street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted November 23, 2015 ID:1003045 Share Posted November 23, 2015 And "free software" is often "get-what-you-pay-for".Sometimes, you get "more" than you pay for: PUPs, malware, toolbars, advertising, etc. For "free" antivirus applications, you might be interested in this: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/596957/i-am-looking-for-advice-on-what-antivirus-and-antimalware-to-use/#entry3868491 I've never quite understood computer users who will gladly drop $50 for a game or a piece of hardware, but won't pay a few pennies per day (or less) for a robust security suite.(I'm not saying that's you. I'm just saying...) Having said that, David and the others are correct.The first and last line of defense is the computer component located between the chair and the keyboard.
