"Antivirus" for PC protection is an integral program that should be installed on every Windows computer if it has Internet access or various storage devices are connected to it.
Necessary
- Personal Computer,
- access to the Internet,
- antivirus program.
Instructions
Step 1
Currently, not a single modern computer connected to the Internet or a local network can do without an anti-virus program, although a PC can be infected not only through a global or local network (the virus can also be transmitted from a flash card and CD). Today in the software industry you can find a large number of "antivirus programs" that will help protect your home (or work) computer from "unwanted guests". The most popular anti-virus programs are Kaspersky, Dr. Web, Avast! and NOD32.
Buy a licensed program or download a free demo version on the Internet - it's up to you. You can also install a free antivirus for home use like Avast!
Step 2
Installing an antivirus is practically no different from installing any other programs (for example, a text or image editor, video games, etc.). If you already have an anti-virus program and for some reason it does not suit you, then before installing a new one, you must remove all components from the old computer from the computer. In theory, this must be done by the program itself when uninstalling.
Step 3
After installation, the new program will most likely ask you to restart the computer, after which the operation to update the PC protection can be considered complete. After rebooting, you can even download and install another antivirus package. Do not worry, they will not conflict with each other.
Step 4
Every day the number of malicious programs increases exponentially. Therefore, if you have unlimited Internet access, you should think about setting up a daily update of the anti-virus database. In "antivirus" you can also configure a weekly scan of all disks on your computer. All this complex of measures will help you avoid many problems in working with electronic documents and prolong the life of the PC operating system.
