You will not like any one taking a look at them or stealing it without your knowledge. Most of us also use portable drive (pendrives, CD etc.) for sharing file, movies etc., but how can we trust it; that it is not infected with any virus, Trojans or any malware computer. And now give a Big thanks to internet it has become more easy for any hacker to compromise your computer from his place if we do not protect it. So, it becomes more important than before to protect your PC.

We can’t stop our self from using internet or any portable drive with our computer as it is a vast source of information and our many important works. Then what should we do? Well to protect you and your information from these greedy people Antivirus comes to your rescue. It is a small software which is specially designed to protect your information from these threats and keep your data secure. It scans your computer and monitors your activity closely on daily real-time basis.

Tips for choosing an Antivirus:

1) Go for a premium (paid) one as free antivirus are just jokes on you by their makers and does not do any good for you. Sadly, In India people don’t understand it and mostly user prefer free version over paid one.

2) Keep your antivirus database up-to-date as new viruses are made every second and manufacturer update their database daily to protect you from them.
