Does it seem like there Is a gremlin inside your computer? It could be a virus. No matter what kind of PC you have, you need the latest antivirus software. Not only do antivirus programs protect your computer from damage, but they also prevent you from accidentally passing viruses to family and friends when you send e-mails or share files.

Firewalls and Internet Security

How secure is your computer? Have you downloaded the latest patches and updates for Windows? As Internet usage has grown, so have security threats. One way to protect yourself is to install a firewall, which keeps intruders from sneaking into your computer and accessing your private data.

In particular, firewalls are crucial if you have the always-on Internet connection of DSL or a cable modem. Protect yourself and your family.
