Protection Against Computer Virus

There are many companies that have programs and software that protect against computer viruses.

Some of the most publicly popular are Symantec / Norton, Kaspersky, and McAfee, but almost any company that is CISSP-certified will be beneficial and is trustworthy. These antivirus software aim at preventing, detecting malware (trojan horses, worms, Adware, spy ware, etc.) through analyzing, specifically heuristics, and ridding your hard drive or "hot-spot" of attacks and viruses.

Norton, statistically, is the most favored protection, which is why it can be found on Windows and Mac models. You can purchase these programs that will protect against computer viruses at your local office stores like Office Max, Wal-Mart or even online.

Some software companies (i.e. Kaspersky) have online scans that protect against computer viruses. You can download various scans from the companies sites for free. This is a lucrative and easy step to protect against computer viruses, even if the scan is just interim.

If you would like more information I would suggest going to a bookstore or library and read about the most updated source with content to protect against computer viruses. If you have any system that can "hook-up" to the Internet it is imperative to have a software or scanner to protect against computer viruses so you can enjoy a crash-free, healthy computer.
