Best free Windows antivirus programs

Microsofts built in Antivirus for Windows 10 is not as good as some of the other programs but it's not bad. Mircosofts built in antivirus is also good for slower PC's, some antivirus programs slow down your PC. 2 top picks are Avast and AVG

Best paid Windows antivirus programs

 Norton 360 Deluxe is getting good reviews, I have had problems with Norton Avast and AVG's software is also highly rated for paid software. Webroot and Malwarebytes works well without slowing your computer, this especially helpful on older slower PC's

Best Mac antivirus programs

 Macs still have less trouble than Windows PC's but it's time to get antivirus on your Mac

 Bitdefender and Avast have good paid for programs and Avast and AVG have good free

The importance of a scheduled backup

 Lots of people do not remember to manually backup the computers. I had a customer that had an older computer that had lots of important information on it. The computer had sudden hard drive failure. I have seen these sudden failures many times. When the computer can not see the hard drive there is no way to recover the information without going to data recovery company and paying at least $400. Fortunatly the computer had an external USB hard drive hooked up with backup set to run each week.  We were able to recover all of her data from the backup. I have seen many problems with both Microsoft Onedrive and the Windows 10 backup program not backing up. There are other backup programs that are free and more reliable. If your information is very important to you have 2 different ways of backing up. Call me and I can help you get you setup for a scheduled backup.

 

 

Computer Brands I recommend

 

Dell especially the Optiplex desktops and Latitude laptops dell.com. Dell is not as good as they used to be.

 

Dells' tech support these isn't much help unless you need to process a warranty request.

I called Dell due to a problem with a new PC that would not allow file sharing. They wanted $99

to look at the problem and spent an hour and half and were unable to resolve the problem, Microsoft was also unable to solve the problem. There is $500 per incident business support option from Microsoft that might have been able to help. It was cheaper to install a file sharing device called network attached storage.

 

Asus good computers except the real cheap ones Asus.com

 

I recommend avoiding HP computers and printers. I have seen to many PC's and printers fail within 2 years of purchase.
