Steps To Install Antivirus On Your Computer

by admin on Jul.20, 2010, under Tech

A computer virus can severely hamper the performance of your computer. They are structured to damage the stored data on your computer. Unlike other malicious software, they do not replicate, but still could do irreparable damage by taking full control of your PC. To assure complete protection of your computer, installing antivirus is a must. An antivirus protects your computer against viruses and Trojans, which can be deadly for your computer. AVG antivirus is an effective antivirus, which detects and removes viruses without hampering your PC performance.

Install Antivirus

STEP 1: Download the antivirus and double-click on the file to launch the installation of Avast antivirus. Click “Next” on the appeared screen.

STEP2: Another windows with ReadMe file will appear, just click “Next” again.

STEP 3: Legal agreement would appear, click “I agree”, and then click “Next” to continue.

STEP 4: I recommend you to use “Typical” installation. Ensure that “Typical” has been selected by you and then click “Next”.

STEP 5: A message asking you to schedule a boot-time antivirus scan of your local hard drive would appear. I recommend you to select No, because this scan could take a lot of time.

STEP 6: Once the setup process has been finished, restart your computer. Select Restart and click Finish.

STEP 7: After you will restart your computer, two new icons in the bottom of the right corner of the screen would appear. The icon with “I” is the “Virus Recovery Database” (VRDB). It makes the copies of the programs installed by you and if one of them gets infected with a virus, this will help in replacing the infected file so that the program functions properly. However, the icon with “A” is the On-Access Protection.

Note: After restarting your computer, right-click on icon with “A” in the taskbar and select “Updating”.

To install antivirus is a necessity, nowadays. But taking some precautionary measures can prevent virus invasion.

You can install a firewall to protect your computer when connected to Internet.
Don’t open suspicious attachments.
Always keep your antivirus software up-to-date by installing latest updates.
Download programs only from authentic websites.
Make sure that you have read all security warnings, license agreements, and privacy statements associated with any software you want to download.

In case you are unable to repair your computer against virus infection, you can avail enhanced tech support services from various technical firms to make your computer free of malicious software.

How to download and install Avast Anti Virus

by admin on Jun.22, 2010, under Tech

We recommend using Avast anti-virus for a few reasons. Not only is it a very powerful tool, but it is very easy to use even for beginner computer users. It is free for home use and requires very little active user maintenance to run. Once you have it setup, you don’t need to tinker around with it for over a year. Let’s explain how to install the program.

To download Avast, visit www.avast.com and download the free home edition. You can either download the user installation file or the English installation file. Once it is downloaded, double click the icon to proceed. The introduction screen will appear. Click Next. The second screen has some technical information including the minimum requirements for Avast. If you bought your computer within the last 12 years, you will be fine. Click Next again. Now you will be prompted to agree to the end user license agreement. You can read through this if you would like to, otherwise click “I agree” and move along. You will now be prompted for a destination folder to install the program. It is best to leave the default input as it is. The following screen provides configuration options that you should not tinker with. Finally, the last screen before the actual installation gives a quick summary. Clicking Next will install the program.

Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to schedule a boot time scan. This is one of our favorite features of avast because it allows the program to clean up your computer before windows starts (and the viruses!). Clicking yes will schedule the scan and render your computer inoperable for a couple hours next time you reboot the machine. We recommend clicking NO at this time. The next screen will ask you to reboot your machine. Simply click restart later.

Find your newly installed Avast icon on your desktop and double click it. This will run the actual program. You will be prompted to enter your license key or press demo. Demo will allow you to use the program for 2 months before registering. Registration is free for home use and is a very quick process. Your license key will last 14 months at which point you can just re-register. We recommend getting it out of the way today! Click the program registration link.

Your default web browser will now open and take you to the avast website where you will be asked to register. The whole process involves providing your e-mail address (where the key will be sent), offering your name, your intent to use the program at home, your country, age and computer level. A few optional dialogues ask you why you chose avast and which antivirus you used prior to using avast. Finally, enter the security code image and click “Register for free license.”

Go to your email and copy paste the key you were provided in to the still open avast program and click okay. Voila! You’re ready to use avast for the next 14 months.
