Protecting Your Computer Without Emptying Your Wallet (in other words, for free)
If you've ever been plagued by popups when you're not even connected to the internet, or gotten angry when a virus steals your data or deletes a file, then you know how important it is to keep your computer protected. However, if you've looked in the software section at the store, you also know that protecting your computer is also very expensive. Or at least you thought it was...
This guide offers a comprehensive protection package that uses software programs that are free to use for personal use. (Please keep in mind that some are not available for business use. Please check the licenses of each program if you will be using it with a business, as you may be required to purchase the software in order to use it in a business.)
