Antivirus Tools

By Aikednea Johansen


Anti-Virus sends shivers down your spine when you think about all of the damage they can do and the word tool gives us a primal instinct of safety and help. When you think about precisely what Anti-Virus Tools is designed for: peace of mind and a means to keep your computer from catching a cold.

Pros

What can one person say, there are more advantages to this than you will find letters in any alphabet but to name some of them at the very least are, the protection it provides you while doing something as simple as checking your email, or chatting on one of the various Instant Messengers out there. One more fact is that all can and will continuously scan on their own or when you command them too. You can also determine how deep a scan is or isn't. Additionally yet another Advantage is the level of Defense the Anti-Virus Tools can offer, you can set it so high that nothing is getting in, unless of course you allow it to.

Cons

With regards to Cons, very well there are a few to consider, one being whether or not your Anti-Virus tool is up to the job, some only protect against particular attacks whilst others cannot handle or keep up with the daily changes to the Anti-Virus world. Yet another and most likely the greatest problem is the size of these programs, there are a few available that do not leave much room for anything else to be running, while others themselves are so big that unless you're running 128 MB or higher you don't have enough resources to use the program anyway.

User ability

The ease of use in these programs can be as different as day and night, nevertheless generally if you allow it to set up and install then run itself in the default settings then they're relatively easy to use. Another thing to take into consideration is, before you install one is whether the product is right for you and if the Anti-Virus Tool does the job you need it to. Once these things are out of the way, the User Ability becomes simple issues like deciding when the best time for it to run a scan is, keep in mind, the Pc must be turned on at the time and it is usually best to not do anything else during the scan.

Safety and Security

When it comes to Anti-Virus tools, the safer you are in your choices and settings the more secure you'll be. If you turn on your Computer then you have to have an Anti-Virus tool, regardless of whether the computer ever gets put on line or not. A major Security for all of us is our own personal information and whether we're comfortable giving it out or not. You will find only a few of us who will voluntarily give out a lot more than our name and e-mail, you will find even more who do not like giving even that out. I suggest an alternate email address for those who do not like giving out their own, and take into account that if the Anti-Virus tool you choose wants more information from you to download it then maybe you need to take into account where you're downloading it from.

Summary and Rating

Summing up something as intricate as Anti-Virus Tools, with all of the options available, and all the more reasons to make use of one is a large undertaking in itself. I can just make suggestions on where to go from here. First choose carefully and wisely, don't be afraid to spend a couple of dollars to protect your computer. The thing to remember about the cost is, it needs to be more affordable than needing to purchase a new Computer. When selecting a tool, see what its minimum requirements are, what it protects against and how frequently it updates. Furthermore whether or not you can set it to scan all of the time and run your own deeper scan whenever you want.

As far as the Rating goes, it will and must always get a 10 and be one of the first things you do for your Pc.
