There is nothing wrong with taking less of appropriate measures to avoid further damage to nothing to treasure if you have financial constraints or other, always and when this is done temporarily for a short time. Similar reasoning applies when it comes to computer security threats.
Unfortunately some (if not most) users tend to forget that. Looking for free Internet security software computer that dump their teams and hope for the best. The majority of free software developers forget to systematically inform the downloaders of the inadequacies of their software - and are many and important!
A simple search for free software anti-spyware in any search engine produces significant results. If we exclude the original software of the beta version of these results, almost all these programs AntiSpyware operate on the principle - "get infected first, then call us". In other words, these programs are reactive. Analysis and destroys spyware as it is found in the user's computer. The real drawback of these programs is that they offer no protection in real time. Are they surprised? Perhaps you have forgotten that "there is no such thing a free lunch"!
Large computer software developers spend millions of dollars each year developing products that can quickly detect and destroy new security threats of equipment such as spyware, adware, viruses, hacking techniques, Trojans, worms, keyloggers etc.
Do you think that free computer security software developers inject millions of dollars in the end that the users of their software regular software updates? I think that not!
Computer security software is a purchase that criticism that I believe that you one must buy the software before bringing home a new PC!
The most critical software you have on your PC is:
Firewall - to protect your PC against hackers and internal malicious software that maybe trying to "call home"
Spyware and Adware - to detect the "ETs" that are "transmit" from your PC, putting at risk its confidential information such as passwords, numbers of credit cards and other confidential information. These programs also use large amounts of their critical computer resources. That's why the computer is slow and crashing lately!
Software antivirus -these can be completely annihilate your critical data or disable him or his team. More dangerous is that it can end (unconscious) be a source of virus (for example, through email or infected Web pages).
Here are measures of common sense which can take to protect your PC:
Email - avoid responding to chain letters. Also be very careful of fixation of the image. Hackers attach program malicious JavaScript in them.
Regularly update their antivirus definitions by running the update of its security software function.
Before you buy a computer security software or package ensure that offers regular updates to keep new viruses, adware, spyware and other security threats.
I would like to repeat what I said at the beginning of this article: there is nothing wrong in the adoption of temporary security measures insofar as it relates to the security of your computer (i.e., using free software downloads). What is wrong is to forget that the measure would be for a temporary period in the first place.
