Computer Security

Welcome to the Cyberwalker Viruses & Spyware FAQ.

If you think your computer is safe as long as it sits under lock and key in your den, think again. You borrowed a disk from someone and - OH MY WHOEVER! - you can go and buy yourself a new computer. You got yourself Internet access and - OH MY WHOEVER! - a hospital operating room AFTER major surgery is a clean healthy space compared to your computer.

It doesn't need to be this way.

Here are a few articles on how to install an anti-virus program. You'll also see an article on what a virus is, a very popular piece of information. In the software list, you will find anti-virus programs we recommend.

Especially check out AVG from Grisoft. Many of the listed applications are free (marked as $0), others are paid products (marked as $$$). If you would like help with a virus problem, consider our paid advice service by clicking on the Get Advice link or box.
