The use of technology is part and parcel of this generation’s lifestyle. Desktops and laptops are regular fixtures at home and in the office while tablets, smart phones, and the likes often go wherever we go. These gadgets connect us to other people, make information accessible and help us manage our daily tasks efficiently through various application features. You may have even heard people say that their gadget is their life because it stores data that are important in each aspect of their life. As such, these tools need to be equipped with proper protection or you might lose these precious data.
Must.protect.them.
The best way to protect your gadget is to install an antivirus software in your computer, tablet or smart phone. There are free downloadable versions that you can get from the internet if you are on a budget. However, this also limits your protection coverage to the standard features only. It is best to learn which antivirus is best for you and how it can really protect your tools. The usual features of a basic antivirus program include virus, spyware and malware scanners for e-mail, links, or external devices that connect to your gadget, automatic updates, and scheduled scanning options. Premium software may include additional protection against malicious websites, phishing websites, hacking and suspicious links in social networking sites. The more pricey versions include parental control management features, backup and restore options, PC tune up and live support services in their packages.
The latest gadgets allow us to put our personal data, organizer, work files, mail, treasured photos and other documents in one portable tool that we can pull out anytime and anywhere. It is also easier for one gadget to interface with another gadget or electronic device. However, this may increase our risks for viral infection or malware and crimeware infiltration. Equipping our gadgets with an antivirus software that affords us full protection is the best safety precaution that we can get. And don’t scrimp on the budget, make sure that you get protection from trusted sources only.

I am fortunate to have a computer as one of the fixtures i have at home. I can say it is my life as it serves as extension to keeping precious memories and important data of my life apart from being my source of income to support my monthly needs. Therefore, it is just right for it to be highly protected.
I agree antivirus is the best protection to computers or other gadgets. Just can’t trust what’s going around in the internet.
you are so right. installing anti-virus would probably the most important think when having a computer. we are vulnerable to hackers out there and without anti-virus we can put our lives into at risk. Identity theft is very much popular these days and as much as we can, we need to protect ourselves from these thieves.

Hubby’s sis, I have my stuff on the bed, lols….

I agree with you mare! Dapat talaga meron antivirus para safe ang mga docs at pics natin.
Anti-virus software is very essential especially for those who regularly browse the Internet. There’s no telling when a virus will attack.
I’ve lost a lot of important files because of virus attack. Now, hubby makes it appoint to backup my files so that I won’t be whining again.
This desktop computer that I am using right now has a new virus software protection. I bought it at the computer repair shop. It is working so far so good, knock on woods. It is very important to have a virus software or else I will go nuts without my pc.
i hate to think that a virus would attack my computer and i have to lose all my precious files but sometimes, premium anti virus is so pricey.
I knew it! It’s your hubby workplace! haha!
Agree, anti-virus is just as important as our precious photos, right? 😀
