How to get a free antivirus for my laptop?

The days of PCs being viewed as virus-ridden boxes of dismay are long gone. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t lots of terrible people out there creating malicious programs with the intent to steal something or just create havoc. Here are few ways or free antivirus for your laptop or PCs.

Some PC makers will preload antivirus software and try to coerce you into signing up for it because that’s how they make money. But you shouldn’t ever feel pressured, and you likely don’t need whatever it is they’re shilling.

That great as you think that you should install some Antivirus on your Laptop as most of the time people just pass to install any security software due to which later they realize that they must have some security software/antivirus on the system as due to Infecitons/Viruses/Trojans/Malwares etc. you can loose all of your data and it can corrupt your Operating System and later it can result in HDD Crash too.

1. If you are using Mac computer it don’t require any Antivirus, but still if you want to go for any security software on Mac. I will recommend Sophos, AVG, AVAST. There are other also available but these are best. You should also turn on the Firewall that can protect too. PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL MAC KEEPER on your Mac Book as its not at all good for Mac Machine.
2. If you are using Windows Computer then you don’t have to worry as with Windows you have multiple options with you to get free good security software as compared to Mac as Windows Machines are now widely used all over the world and its also easy to use that is why people are opting for it. You can install AVAST for Complete One Year absolutely free by using your email id. After One Year you have to purchase AVAST but by changing your email id you can get license for another computer as License for AVAST takes your email id not the Mac Address of machine.
3. You can also use AVG, Kaspersky, McAfee, iObit Malware Fighter, AVIRA.
4. If you think and want that you do not need to pay any money for any Antivirus for your Windows Computer for the whole life. Then Hurray! You can get that too. You can install/activate/start Windows Defender/Windows Security Essentials on your machine. Before downloading it from external source first check that in system as Windows Security is always pre-installed.

If you’re not using any antivirus softwares in your laptop then;

Things to follow:

• Use adblocker in browser(No sites excepted).
• Most pop-ups should be blocked.
• Find always the correct downloading button from malicious sites using inspect element.
• Use task manager/registery editor well.
• Learn how to use command line interface.

How to find a virus:

• Understand the list of system and user processes (It can be useful).
• Most probably viruses will be user processes.
• For each user process you will find a valid .exe file where the software is installed (Description might also help).
• Check the startup for the process you find suspicious. The unwanted processes in the startup can be virus.
