antivirus protection

Currently using Intego antivirus on my 5 year old iMac. Never had a notification on an existing virus / invade so do not know if it is actually effective. Someone at - it recommendations for power is compensated or anti-virus program? I read on Avast/Sophos, etc. on several websites but she loves the comments of users. With the help of an update of the El Capitan operating system version.

Your Mac is much better without any third-party software installed anti-virus. It is not necessary.

With El Capitan installed your Mac has the integrity of System Protection > on the Protection of the integrity of system on your Mac - Apple Support

  • What is the Windows Security Center and is compatible with Avast antivirus Protection?

    I installed a paid for version of Avast on my Windows XP computer. (I won't be upgrading to a more modern version of Windows.)

    I also called Windows Security Center.

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    If it is a virus protection, it would hurt Avast and if so can I uninstall it?

    If I removed Avast and didn't have Windows Security Center, I should any type of protection against viruses on my computer?

    The only type of protection against viruses in addition to Avast, I am sure that I have on my computer is Windows Firewall. I turned that off and am now strictly protected by the firewall of Avast. Windows Security Center notifies me of cannot have two firewalls upwards at the same time.

    If Windows Security Center antivirus protection it would do no harm to leave it on if the firewall is disabled and Avast is installed? Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Guesses are welcome. Thank you.

    Hey there Clinton!

    I've identified two questions here, your normal text questions and my answers in bold:

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    Windows Security Center is not a virus protection it's just simply a place to control and view the status of the installation of malware * protection software, but also the firewall on your computer.

    Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Windows Firewall is a separate component.

    Does Avast! Damaged, if I have another antivirus running program?

    It is not clear what might happen, but software may conflict with each other and may not work as expected.

    I hope that I have answered all your questions!
    Sincerely,
    -Alex

  • window xp security center antivirus protection is off how can I me protection.

    MY COMPUTER IS NOT PROTECTED WHY.  SECURITY CENTER ME SAID OF ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION IS DISABLED

    Many of these programs require annual fees to continue working, so if you have a message to this effect and is not paid, it would be a possible way, that this could happen. Of course, another possibility is that your computer could be infected with a virus. Whatever the cause, it is imperative that you have a working of antivirus running software version. There are several free there, against MS, called Microsoft Security Essentials. Two more are AVG and Avast. Don't forget that before installing any new anti-virus program you need to uninstall any other person because more than one on a PC will cause problems.

  • Antivirus protection for PC

    I got my uninstalled McAfee and I was wondering if I really need to buy antivirus protection?  My firewall is enabled, automatic update is enabled, Windows defender is on, and other security settings are ok... do I have to buy an antivirus protection for my computer or is it possible to run without?  If I need to buy protection, what is recommended?

    Hello

    You certainly need an Antivirus program must be installed on your computer, but also Anti-spyware.

    Free AV programs do a good job of protection.

    Make a choice from these AV programs (installation more than it will cause system problems):

    Avast: http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#tab4

    AVG: http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

    MSE: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5201

    Avira: http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus

    And the Antivirus program will disable the Defender, which is the normal thing for them to do.

    Malwarebytes free version works with them. It's an Anti Spyware / Anti-Malware program.

  • What antivirus protection works with firefox 9.0.1?

    Webroot, which I have, but is expiring, worked with the last few updates to Firefox.

    I need to get a new program and do not know which is compatible with Firefox version 9.0.1

    Please let me know as soon as POSSIBLE

    Thank you Dona Leiper

    The addon helps you get shortened some features like the virtual keyboard, the reputation of the Web site (the site is trusted content source or phising) etc., but protection doesnot depend on addon since most of the antivirus scan level of traffic independently, so they block it before to attack your pc, so if the component web is activate and your antivirus thenall say Green is good. You are protected. anyway most of the popular antivirus are compatble with little popular Firefox.a
