My Sugar Free Sweet Life

When I bought my laptop in March, it came bundled with a Norton Anti Virus trial software that got me covered for free for 90 days. After that, I was prompted to buy a licensed version which I did not do for obvious reasons. One is that I find it too expensive to buy when I can opt to find a free anti virus software instead. My initial step was to download the latest free version of AVG but most of my blogger friends recommended that I switch to Avira. I did and, so far, I think it's doing good for me.

Other than the price, there are also other points I consider in looking for an antivirus software. Here are just some of them:

• It should be light so as not to slow down the performance of my laptop;
• It should also be an anti-spyware;
• It should be able to scan, detect, and remove rootkits;
• It should be able to detect threats from downloaded email; and
• It should be able to scan, detect, and remove malware.
