Having a good anti-virus program can be the difference between the life and death of your computer. With so many computer viruses in existence, protecting your computer's security should be one of your top priorities.

Good anti-virus software will keep unwelcome intrusions locked out of your computer.

Protection from Viruses

The greatest and most obvious advantage to installing anti-virus software on your computer is that it will prevent you from getting viruses such as trojans, malware and spyware. Viruses range in severity from the harmless to the downright system crippling. Not only can a virus destroy all of the valued data on your computer, it can make the computer utterly worthless by infecting and destroying processes vital to your computer's performance.

Protecting Personal Information

Hackers and viruses go hand in hand. A good anti-virus program will protect you while you surf the Internet, preventing hackers from gaining access to personal things such as credit card information and bank account access. The firewall feature included with most anti-virus software will block any unauthorized incoming connections to your network or computer, preventing hackers from digging their hooks into your life and your computer.
