Anyone using the internet or connected to a network of computers is in constant threat from viruses. These stealthy and unwanted files will creep up to your system and hampers its performance to a point that it's affecting certain programs that you are using. It may slow down startup which can be menacing for someone who wants to get to work at the fastest possible time.
Although purchased anti-viruses have a large list of dodgy programs it can safely remove, free for all software are also available for those that would like to protect their computer with only their web searching skills. Tons of sites have their own pick when it comes to these sorts of software. Although some are very much trusted by the web community, some might give you an ounce of headache instead of finding the solution you are hoping for.
Here are few programs that I have personally used and would recommend to others. You may see these featured in majorgeeks.com and received good reviews from their editors. Unless you like viewing the blue screen of death on your PC I suggest giving these anti viruses a try. You can see the description for each in the Major links provided.

Of course you do not have to install all these just to make sure no virus gets through. But it would be a good idea to make a run through on each one when you are having problems with your system. Please comment and stay tuned for the next posts.
