Antivirus seems to be the Buzz right now. Many home computers that are purchased today are packaged with antivirus software, but that software is only effective if you update it regularly. Companies that sell this antivirus software are looking to make money like everyone else. This usually deters people from updating their antivirus software in the future.

Online virus scanners are a great way to avoid the update process. Online virus scanners are generally updated on a regular basis, so you don't have to. A great site for online virus scanning is AntiVirus.com. This is an excellent tool for scanning your computer for viruses.

A client of mine complained to her husband that her computer was running slow. He decided to scan the computer with the AntiVirus.com also offers one of the largest libraries of known viruses and their fixes. In about 30 minutes we completely cleaned the entire computer.

AntiVirus.com is an invalueable tool in this world of malicious miscreants, that prey on people's ignorance of computers.
