I have talked a number of times about how important it is to protect your computer from viruses and other malicious threats. Of course, most computers come with something installed, but it is vitally important that you make sure that whatever you have is updated at least weekly if not daily. Most antivirus and spyware programs can be set to update automatically and this is the best way to go. If you use a free program that cannot be set to update automatically, then it is important that you go it manually.

Many Internet Service Providers (ISP) provide some security software free and you should certainly take advantage of this. I like to check the online version of PC Magazine for their recommendations. Here are a couple of interesting articles to check out from them.

Eleven Ways to BodyGuard Your PC

Nine Ways to Wipe Out Spyware

I also get a couple of RSS feeds from PC Magazine which often have interesting info.  CNet is another good source for information about technology stuff in general. Download.com also is a great source for software.

Do you have a favorite “trusted” source for software? Why don’t you share with us?

Until next time!
