Best Antivirus Software for Windows Computers 2020.

While surfing the web or streaming a video can seem innocuous, the fact is that using the internet can be fraught with danger. That’s because there are plenty of people who want to monitor your online activity in order to steal your personal information – usually for financial gain, but sometimes just to cause trouble.

Hackers do this through a variety of means, and their techniques are constantly changing. These techniques include various sorts of malicious software, such as:

  • Viruses, which change other software on your computer in harmful ways
  • Adware, which causes unwanted ads to pop up on your computer
  • Spyware, which allows someone to monitor your computer activities
  • Ransomware, which can lock up your computer until you pay a fee, or “ransom”
  • Worms, which are malicious bits of code that can spread from one computer to another

All of the above, categorically falls under the generic term “malware.” Your devices can be attacked in other ways, too, such as through phishing attempts that try to trick you into using fake websites to steal your personal data.

However, there’s always a good news while on Mediangr.com.ng. YES!!! I mean ALWAYS! The good news is that in addition to smart internet security practices like using strong passwords, you can protect yourself by purchasing antivirus software.

Antivirus software scans the information and files sent to and from your computer when you’re web surfing, emailing, or doing anything else online. If a website or file seems suspicious, the software will warn you not to click on it. And if you accidentally download a security threat to your computer, antivirus software will attempt to quarantine and eliminate the threat.
