Gary Fixter If you are like me, you have probably noticed the advertisements that tempt you to switch to AVG's paid antivirus program, even though it is a free antivirus program. There you have it: an antivirus program built into Windows, enabled by default, and easy to do.
Not all antivirus programs protect you from the latest threats, so it is vital that you purchase the antivirus software that meets your needs. Some of these measures will cover basic internet security and protect against the most common types of malware such as viruses, phishing, malware attacks, etc., but not all.
