The truth is, thousands of computer virus spread widely all over the internet was made mainly for Windows. Any computer that uses Windows application as the main operating system will have to face a huge risk for being infected with computer virus, malicious programms, worms and trojans.
Apple computer users didnt have to install an antivirus program. Until now, there is no antivirus software made for computers using operating system by Apple - the Mac OS. Because, no computer virus can infect Mac computers and laptops because the internet code for viruses was not made for Mac.
Other reason is, 90% of computer users in the world learn to use Windows in early stage of the computer usage. This is the reason why Windows are widely used around the world.
They never heard about Mac, Macintosh, Apple iBook or anything related. They knew it when they want something that more than Windows application can offer.
I have tried the free versions of Cyberdefender, Prevx, ESET, PC Tools, AVG and Webroot. Most are just scanners, or 30 day trial versions.
ReplyDeleteAll of these offer a $29 paid version (except AVG - $34 is cheapest paid version). I ended up getting Cyberdefender, because it not only protected me from viruses, but also spyware and trojans. I like that Cyberdefender is a public company (NASDAQ) and that they have 24/7 computer help that goes beyond tech help for the software.
