Free Anti-virus Options
Computer viruses have been around as long as personal computers but I'm constantly amazed at how little attention is given to anti-virus and anti-malware software. A 2010 report by McAfee, a security software company, revealed that the cost to corporations of work time lost due to virus attacks was $6.3 million per day, and a Fox News report in 2009 estimated that $86 billion is lost worldwide annually. Some companies use whatever trial software came with a computer but neglect to subscribe and keep it updated. Some even have multiple anti-virus programs on a single computer thinking that "more is better" yet it is not!
