What do you do to protect your data from hackers? Still expecting ultimate security from your favorite antivirus programs?
Do you really think your antivirus programs can protect you from all threats? The truth is, THEY CAN'T. The Antivirus programs can only provide you a certain level of security. If you really want to beef up your computer security, you should use some best tools and techniques. So, here are the best tools and techniques that you can use to protect your computer from hackers:
Let's start from the Tools!
You want the best AntiVirus, right? There is no BEST EVER anti-virus, but here are some good quality products:
Panda Cloud Antivirus
Panda Cloud Antivirus is one of the good quality product available online. 30-day free trial is available for those who want to test the effectiveness of panda Global Protection.
Bitdefender Total Security
Bitdefender Total Security is a good choice for those who don't want to install other protection softwares (Anti-spywares, Anti-Malware, Anti-Worm). But that is not really a good idea because each antivirus or anti-spyware software consists of different virus databases (different signatures). So if all the tools are from the same company, it will not help you to increase the level of your computer security. Anyway, you can download Bitdefender as an antivirus for your computer.
Good Quality Anti-spyware Programs?
SuperAntiSpyware
SuperAntiSpyware is one of the best tools to protect your computer from spywares. The free version is available, but I recommend you to use SuperAntiSpyware Professional for maximum security.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
It is also a good product, but the premium version is much more useful for those who always work on the computer. Premium version provides you the real-time security and heuristic protection, which prevents zero-day malware infections.
You must also install Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit to increase your system security. Malwarebytes anti-exploit helps you to maintain your system security by protecting your browsers and applications from exploits. The Free version is available, but try to buy the premium version if you want to enhance the protection.
Next thing you must do is, "Install a Firewall". Your antivirus software may contain a firewall module, but you must install an additional firewall on your system. So download and install ZoneAlarm Firewall or Comodo Free Firewall on your computer.
The "software downloading and Installing" part is over. Now take a look at the techniques to enhance your system security:
- Scan your computer every single day with all those tools listed above.
- Update the tools (Antivirus, Anti-spyware, Anti-Malware).
- Change the antivirus, anti-spyware program after two weeks and install another antivirus, anti-spyware program to scan your computer. This process must continue every two weeks to get maximum security.
- Update your system.
Cracks and Keygens may contain malicious programs to steal your private information (Photos, mail ID, Address, Credit/Debit card number etc). So, avoid cracks and keygens.
