Clean Sweep

Next time your walking around in town somewhere, I want you to wave your wallet in the air and yell out "Hey, Everyone! Free Money!!!". Sound crazy, right? Well, If your surfing the internet without a relavent Anti-Virus software, then that is basically what you are doing. Even worse, you really have no excuse for this reckless behavior, because of the many good, free anti virus software there is out there. Avaria Free is a personal favorite, which you can download at www.free-av.com.

Not only do you need a good AV program to monitor your activities, you will also need to do weekly sweeps with an Anti-Spyware software and an Anti-Malware program. The Anti-Spyware program will protect you from people you don't want watching your activities online, and the Anti-Malware will protect your computer from dormant programs hidden in your computer by hackers to eventually harm your computer. You can download two of my favorites at www.malwarebytes.org and www.superantispyware.com/download.html. Believe me, the first time you encounter a malware program, you will want to do all you can to avoid them.

With the weekly scans and watchful eye of your AV program, your online exploits will be much safer. Hope this informs you to be a little more careful about how loud you yell "Take My Money!!!" on the web.
