5 Common Myths that Stop People from Using an Antivirus by Rajib Singha

While the growth of cyber threats and malware artists is rampant, most of us still feel that antivirus for our computer is unnecessary and may cause more trouble than it's worth. Here are some myths that stop people from using an antivirus, where we also tell you why should you have one.

MYTHS
Myth 1: You only visit 'safe' websites.
Fact: In today's time, no website is safe.

Myth 2: Security software slow down your system.
Fact: Antivirus software are now designed to use minimal system resources.

Myth 3: You don't have any data that is useful to hackers.
Fact: If you use the Internet, then any amount of data can be misused by attackers.

Myth 4. You own a Mac & Macs don't get viruses.
Fact: An age-old myth. Mac users need as much protection as users of Windows.

Myth 5. You don't need to connect to the Internet.
Fact: Without connecting to the Internet, there is virtually no use of having a computer. (In other words, we do more than just play solitaire, you look up or search for information, even if it's just the weather forecast.)

Why should you invest in an antivirus?
1. You can never say what will infect your PC.
2. Phishing attacks are rampant.
3. You could be a pawn for bigger targets.
4. After-damage repairs can sometimes be costly.

Something new
We're working on something new and exciting. Shelly's practiced Tai Chi for some time now. Recently, she attended a Tai Chi training seminar and became a certified Tai Chi instructor. New classes will begin soon with the seated version of tai chi, which is good place to begin. Tai chi's gentle low impact forms have been described as "meditation in motion" as well as "meditation in motion" since it can help so many different areas from stress to arthritis and limited mobility. Tai chi is one that nearly anyone can do, but as always, check with your doctor as you would with any form of exercise. Over the last couple years, we've have some customers express interest in Tai Chi , and now your chance to learn is here. Shelly's hope is to bring tai chi to those that expressed learning tai chi, but didn't know where to start or just want to try something new. If you have interest or questions regarding tai chi, or you have a small group that would like to have a class, please feel free to contact Shelly at: info@pcswebpartner.com or can call here at the shop at 308.344.8884.
