I'm often asked by PC users, "Do I really need to keep up my antivirus subscription?" In a word, "YES". Not just "yes", but "HELL YES." I've used Norton (Symantec) and McAfee. Kaspersky is also highly-regarded. All charge a nominal subscription fee for virus definition updates. Why is this important? New viruses are being introduced nearly every day. Virus definitions enable your antivirus software to recognize the latest viruses to provide you with the maximum protection. Virus removal, should your computer become "infected", is tedious, time-consuming, and expensive. So when you look at the cost of an annual subscription (roughly $30 or so) vs. potentially hundreds of dollars for virus removal and the risk of losing your important documents and photos it looks like a bargain.

Update your antivirus software TODAY. Keep your subscription current.
