What is the best antivirus software?
The truth is, no antivirus software can completely protect your computer. We see antivirus programs on systems full of viruses all the time. Installing multiple antivirus programs will conflict and compete with each other for system resources. The best way to protect yourself from viruses is to be careful of what you click on, don’t open suspicious e-mails, don’t install software from unknown locations, and read those pop up screens before you click “ok”!
If you do get a virus, we can remove them quickly. We charge $90 plus tax for virus removal service.
