Did you know that nearly 200 malware attacks occur every second of every day? While this includes high profile businesses and governments, the vast majority of victims are home users like you. The attacks target not just your computer, but everything attached to your network like tablets, security cameras, cell phones, hard drives and more.
This is why it is so important for computer owners to protect themselves from cybercriminals. We urge everyone to utilize technology such as firewalls and security programs (that include anti-viruses, anti-malware and anti-spyware).
You may be asking yourself, “what anti-virus program is best?” That is a great question, especially since there are hundreds of security programs available. Many of these programs are free, but they come at great risk. Reading through industry lead white-papers that review these programs, you can see their flaws. They will protect against some aspects of your computer, but not others. Many of them will perform a daily scan, but not monitor your system live for threats. Some of them are deliberately slow to push out updates. Additionally, some security programs are actually viruses themselves, disguised to lure you to install them.
Using the wrong anti-malware program could cost you big. Attacks on your system could result in relatively mild symptoms such as your computer running sluggish or popups or error messages. However, an attack can just as easily result in something more cataclysmic, such as private information being shared, data being irreversibly encrypted, or your hard-earned money being spent by others.
