New computer for Christmas? Protect yourself now !
Most new computers come with a trial version of an Anti Virus Software. Usually Norton or Mc Afee – both are resource hungry and expensive once your trial comes to an end.
Here is our advice on the software to install to keep your system safe and secure,
Antivirus :- Free AVG http://free.avg.com/gb-en/226187 The best Free antivirus we have come across. We use it on all our ‘Test Bed’ machines (Machines we use to solve / repair / recover client machines) and it hasnt yet let us get infected.
Anti Malware :- Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (the free version) Run once a week to protect against malware infections
One additional piece of software we would recommend is K9 http://www1.k9webprotection.com If you have under 16′s using a computer K9 will help protect your youngsters from visiting sites which they shouldn’t be. Various different levels of sites can be blocked out, with lots of parental controls and logging are available.

Some of the prices that these offers are ‘reduced’ against are the prices they were at back at the beginning of the year, so i’m guessing that the huge saving wouldn’t be such a huge saving if you compared it with last weeks price !!
