Time flies when you are working with a computer isn't it? Let me guess, you're probably on your computer at least a couples of hours a day. Am I right? Then again, if you work on a computer at home or in some cramped cubicle, you may spend the majority of your day on a PC.

Now, I hope you're being cautious for all that time you spend to type, surf, download, read and send. After all, the last thing you need is a Trojan horse or bad virus destroying your system.

Yes this can be very annoying. Not only could it damage what you were doing, but it could also cost you your entire hard drive. That means saved material such as: work, family photos, downloads, the whole shebang. It is pretty sure that you need some decent anti virus protection.

Last year I got hit hard. Not by a crazy shmoe in a smoky bar either. I'm talking about at home in my own family room. That room where you think you are safe and comfortable every day. Unfortunately, security has gone out the window when it comes to cyberspace. Or at least it seems this way at times.

I was performing my usual web browsing. Just looking in the Internet for one or two new desktops to grace my PC screen. Then suddenly it happened. Just as I downloaded a horror flick wallpaper, my screen went fuzzy.

What was happening! I was certain I had excellent anti virus protection. How could I got hit all of a sudden by a random computer virus? Well, a good thing, my laptop was not the same. I shut it down and tried to restart, but it would not comply.

It was time to consult a specialist. He told me that my system board was fried. OUCH. This was going to be pricy; I could tell. I asked him if it was a virus, but he couldn't tell.

However, I was pretty sure it was that terrible horror movie wallpaper I tried to download. That's when it all started. 450 dollars later, my computer was fixed. I went back online right away and downloaded the best free anti virus protection I was able to find. I continue to update once every two weeks or so.

I hate that this is a never-ending story. The nasty viruses advance just as well as the anti virus protection advances. Who in God's name is making up this garbage and don't they have anything else to do? Just a heads up; your PC or Mac is at stake, so stay recent with your anti virus protection.
