The Antivirus Triple Threat Cocktail
ByThe good news is there’s no hangover the next morning. The bad news is you can’t drink it.
Rooting out malicious software has become a PC reliability and speed-increasing necessity. The best way to do this is with a diversity of tools to make sure the virus is completely removed.
Continuing onto Day 2 in the Four days to a faster computer series, we’re going to show you how to effectively rid your Windows-based PC of digital diseases with a cocktail of three FREE antivirus tools.
1. Spybot Search and Destroy
The first ingredient focuses on removing spyware and shielding your web browser from shady websites. It’s also going to be your first line of defense. Spybot Search and Destroy will effectively remove some of the most stubborn pieces of spyware. If and when your computer becomes mired in trojans and malware, we can tell you that this little dandy will give your pc its best chance for recovery. Additionally, Spybot includes the ability to shield or ‘immunize’ your web browsers from attack. This will help prevent you from downloading garbage when you don’t even realize it.

2. Microsoft Security Essentials
The second ingredient uses real-time protection and helps disable viruses before they become a major problem. We were shocked to find Microsoft’s Security Essentials work just as effectively as expensive security software. After intensive testing, we found Security Essentials to find and remove almost all of the viruses we tested it against. Maybe we were drunk? It’s possible.

3. AVG Free Anti-Virus
The final ingredient focuses on preventing and removing the major infections, the grand daddy’s, if you will. AVG Free Anti-Virus is one of the most effective virus removal tools we’ve used. It has successfully targeted and removed the worst of the worst. Like Security Essentials, it also uses real-time protection which protects you from the bad guys while you work.

After mixing these three ingredients, your antivirus cocktail will protect you from some of the worst threats and significantly increase the speed of your computer. We must warn you though, this will not protect you from everything. There is still a considerable possibility that some viruses may stick no matter what you throw at them. If this becomes the case, it might be best to whip out a real, drinkable cocktail to reduce your stress. Just an idea.
