Question

What is the best anti-virus computer protection for email and internet use?

Answer 1

The best protection is common sense. Don't know the sender don't open or enable your auto-reply. Don't know the website then don't download the content or allow any pop ups. Keep your security level in internet options to high for sites that are not trusted. Don't get caught up in an internet surfing wave and activate an unknown plug in or video player. Constantly have your built in firewall and defender active at all times if you have windows. Get to know your security settings for the aforementioned items. Do not assume they are at a safe level. At the very least use AVG at all times. It has a built in e mail scanner and is able to recognize and quarantine many worms, trojans, malware, adware and viruses.
