Antivirus Software

Many antivirus software packages are available--some commercial, some shareware, and some even freeware. The two most highly rated companies that make antivirus software are Symantec (www.symantec.com) and McAfee (www.mcafee.com), now a division of Network Associates. Their products will protect your computer from virus attacks of all sorts. If you purchase and use their software, make sure you download the updates regularly so that new viruses don't slip by.
