Use an Anti-Virus Software

Why should I install Anti-Virus?

Viruses may not appear to be as prevalent as they were a decade ago, but they do exist. I wasn’t always a huge fan of Anti-Virus soft-wares but they make a heap of a difference on the performance of your device. Malicious software on your computer may cause a variety of problems, ranging from annoying pop-ups to covert bitcoin mining to scanning for personal information. If you are at risk of opening dangerous links, or if you share a computer with numerous people in your family, it is worthwhile to install antivirus software, particularly on Windows PCs.

How do I get a reliable Anti-Virus?

If your computer is running Windows 10, you should utilize Windows Defender, which is included with the operating system. Windows Defender provides enough security for the majority of users, and it is the primary antivirus choice that tech experts recommend. However, if you use an earlier version of Windows (even if we encourage upgrading to Windows 10) or if you use a shared computer, a second layer of security may be required. Malwarebytes Premium is your best bet for this and I can vouch for it as I have been using it for over 3 months now. Malwarebytes is unobtrusive, it works well with Windows Defender, and it doesn’t bombard you with thousands of unpleasant messages, as other antivirus programs do.
