Why Anti-Virus is important

5/2/2020

 
Anti-Virus software acts as the security for your Computer that prevents malicious software from being accidentally installed . Malicious software is becoming more and more common as more cyber criminals create harmful software that cause a multitude of problems on computers:

  • They can make your computer run slowly
  • Steal data from your system
  • Encrypt data and lock it from you
  • Infect the rest of the network that you are on
One common reason for computers failing or having major issues come down to a lack of Anti-Virus software or expired software. Therefore, it is imperative that your software is installed and active on your PC. This can help protect against and warn of malicious software on your computer. Anti-Virus software is highly recommended regardless of whether your PC is brand new or a few years old – any PC can fall victim to dangerous software.

It is also important to ensure that your Anti-Virus software is kept up to date to ensure that it is ready to defend against any new threats that could affect your system.

Ashgates IT can help decide what Anti-Virus System would suit your systems and can install this to ensure your peace of mind. If this is something you would be interested in discussing, please get in touch.
