AntiVirus

August 11, 2014

It's kind of a right timing that our topic involves computer viruses. For almost 5 months, I have been using my laptop without any Antivirus software installed because My McAfee Antivirus already expired and my dad doesn't want to spend renewing its license. (Which is wrong. If my laptop gets affected by a virus, fixing it would cost more-in terms of headache of losing files and not for the payment because it's easy to reformat and re-install Windows)

So I've recently installed Avira Free Antivirus on my laptop because I noticed strange symptoms on it:
  • Executing a file takes longer time than usual.
  • Mouse movement was laggy
  • Frequent software crashes
VIRUS ALERT! VIRUS ALERT! came to my  mind, So I've installed the antivirus and scanned my laptop. And there they were, 2 viruses and 3 malicious software. Freaking sneaky viruses.

My laptop seems better now and lost the symptoms mentioned above even though I didn't reformat it because I don't want to lose any files. I'm just going to believe that Avira removed the viruses. #tiwala
