Everyone understands the importance of protecting computers from viruses. In fact, according to a study by Consumer Reports National Research Center, virus infections cost U.S. computer users $5.8 billion collectively over the past year. And that doesn’t count the time and frustration involved in recovering from an infected machine.
So why doesn’t everyone use anti-virus software and keep it updated? Perhaps it’s a cost issue, or dissatisfaction with large costly “suites” that provide anti-virus plus many other “protections” that user’s don’t really want.
Enter Avira AntiVir Personal –Free AntiVirus. This completely free program received top ratings from Consumer Reports in their June 2009 issue. It also received a 5-star rating from the editors at CNet. Of particular note is that Consumer Reports rated it “excellent” for scan speed—making Avira a good choice for people who get frustrated at processing slow-downs during scanning.
So, don’t wait and don’t risk your computer-- if you don’t have Anti-virus software installed, download Avira now!
