Free internet security software or Free antivirus software, is free, however is it affective? We all grow up eventually learning that nothing is ever truly free. But what does this mean when it comes to PC computers? The PC computer experience is heavily driven by the user’s ability to control his or her individual PC. This is what makes a computer purposeful and enjoyable to use.

Myth 1) I don’t need protection – Apple Macs don’t get viruses.

Dispelled) The Apple Mac is severely restricted and for the average user who is happy to work in a closed environment the susceptibility to viruses is also lower mainly because there are much less users globally, so evil malware and virus software developers do not target the smaller section of their target market, however they do exist. In addition to this because the software environment is closed and limited few programs are developed to work on a Mac from the start, this means you miss out on the majority of software and loads of other free programs. For those of us who do not want the Nanny state PC environment – which is the majority of the world. Then the PC is the ideal platform. No viruses or glitches make a computer great to use.

Myth 2) Free antivirus software and internet security does the job fine.

Dispelled)The difference between a good computing experience and a great experience is speed. The faster your PC responds to commands and applications, the better the experience. Free antivirus software is free because there are either built in advertisements or your usage data is being sold to marketing agencies – or both. All of this slows every single process and command down on your computer. The average computer sold in Australia is around the $1000 mark and we usually upgrade our PC because our PC is running slow. Why not invest $50-$100 on  good internet security protection, it brings out the best in your PC and enhances PC performance.
