We are often asked what programs we use to keep our systems up and running and what we recommend to users with limited ability especially when it comes to Anti-Virus and Internet Security.

Keeping it simple, you get what you pay for. Dont expect free programs you find around the web to do the same job as a program supported by paid professionals.

The best Anti Virus and Internet Security

One thing to remember is no antivirus system stops 100% of viri, there are hundreds released every year and there is always a space of time from the viri being released and the time it takes the programmers to a) find out about them and b) program a solution.

We use Bullguard Internet Security, fast to load, regular updates, second to none support and a 1gb upload included to protect your vital documents.

Can you put two antivirus solutions on your system?

The short answer to this is No! Basically, the two programs will fight each other and have detrimental effects on most occasions.

What about Spyware, Keyloggers etc etc

Bullguard will catch the majority but we recommend having a backup system, there are some free programs that you can use as a precaution from Superantispyware and Spybot Search and Destroy. For a beginner or intermediate use we would also suggest you download ccleaner (with two c's), this is a safe program for getting rid of all the clutter on your system and also removing obsolete registry entries, a must have for any system.

 

Malware Detection

We also suggest spending £20 and running Malwarebytes Anti Malware along side your virus scanner. This is not a Virus detection program, it is purely designed to spot suspicious internet sites and malware, physically blocking you from entering any site it sees as a risk. This software also has a knack of catching nasties that elude virus detection scanning and is highly recommended.

 

The Golden Rules

Above all, remember these rules to protect yourself
