This page offers links for free computer protection/maintenance products. ACK Computing makes no claim for any of these products. In other words browse at your own risk, read all the disclaimers before you act and at all times practice safe computing. The software referenced below is not the only “freeware” protection available off the internet and new software becomes available periodically !
Bad things get into your computer from a lot of sources not the least of which is e-mail. Clicking on certain web sites, downloading content from certain links, or loading anything “pirated” or otherwise shared should be approached with caution. Be aware and beware, there is more to this computer stuff then just pointing and clicking!
Be aware that to much protection can cause conflicts
- Do not run Norton and McAfee together, for instance
- Many internet providers give home users firewall protection
- E-mail providers often provide spam protection and anti-virus protection
- Even if you are currently paying for anti-spy/virus protection, the monthly running of one or more of the free products is a smart idea - just be aware that a good spyware tool will detect other spyware, so read the “findings” before deleting all the bad stuff your protection finds
- A Defragmented hard drive will not take as long to scan as a cluttered HD (hard drive) so defrag on a regular basis such as two or three times a year.
It is HIGHLY recommended that before you use the following Freeware you should open and read our Recommendation Paper - feel free to print it.
