Tech Tip: Antivirus Software — Protection for Your PC

Installing computer security software is the most important task you can do after getting your computer system up and running. It is absolutely critical that you protect your computer from viruses and other harmful attacks before you install any other programs or connect your computer to the Internet.

A computer virus is a harmful program written by malicious programmers to sneak commands into your computer. They install and spread without your knowledge, and do bad things to your PC without your knowledge or permission.

A virus can enter an unprotected computer and spread by copying its code to other files or computers if connected on a network. They also can attach to executable files, e-mail, graphics and video files. Viruses can enter your computer while you are connected to websites. No computer is immune from a potential virus attack, but you can protect yourself. A good antivirus software package will not only block viruses from entering your computer, it will also find and remove viruses already present.

All systems purchased through JD Associates come with a pre-installed trial anti-virus program. It is up to the consumer to renew their anti-virus subscription or replace the anti-virus software to one of their own choosing. Either way it is a necessity to have anti-virus software installed, running, and updated with a current subscription at all times.
