Talking Points – How do you know your Anti-Virus is working?

Anti-Virus software comes in many brands these days.  We’d like to discuss which software works best for you, your comfort level with using your Anti-Virus software as well as issues you’ve had with viruses in the past?  There are many things you should know about properly installing and using an Anti-Virus program.  What if we told you that in many cases your Anti-Virus stops working and you don’t even know it.  The fact is, the “Bad guys” are writing malicious code which effectively disables your antivirus without your knowledge.  This post is not meant to scare you, rather to get an idea of what you are doing to protect your data on your computer as well as your identity online.  We have spent years researching digital security and think it should be a priority for all PC users accessing the internet today!  Here is some helpful information provided by the US Government to help you understand Anti-Virus software, so read up and chime in…

We would like to start a conversation about Anti-Virus best practices to keep your data private and secure.  Please use the comment box at the bottom of this post to answer any or all of the following questions:

1.) What Anti-Virus do you currently use?

2.) Do you use a paid version or a free version of Anti-Virus?

3.) Have you had virus issues with your current Anti-Virus?

4.) Do you ever wonder if your Anti-Virus is doing what it’s supposed to do?

5.) Are you concerned about your online privacy?

We look forward to some good feedback!  Download our Anti-Virus literature here.
