Subject: Re: [t'venkatam] Virus and spy protection
I just thought it will be useful for the group to be protected against viruses
and spyware. Fundamentally, you need three things:
a) A good anti virus
b) A good firewall
c) A good anti spyware
If you are happy to pay, the best one to install is Norton Internet Security
Suite - which offers you all the three.
In terms of freeware, I would recommend the following for all our members - all
of them free for download
1) For good anti virus - AVG free version is good
2) For firewalls - I would recommend Zone Alarm
3) For Anti Spyware - Spybot is good. I use Ewido, which is really good.
It is essential that you have ALL the three on your computer. As Sudharshanji
said, things are getting very sophisticated, but you dont need to throw your
PCs away - installing the above should be able to do the trick.
In addition, a lot of the viruses come because of Internet Explorer. You might
like to install Mozilla Firefox, an alternative browser - it does appear that
most of the viruses are written for a the Internet Explorer environment and not
yet for the Mozilla environment - hence there is a degree of protection.
I dont contribute in terms of religious articles - but enjoy reading them. This
was one good opportunity for me to contribute. Hope this helps
