E:21/02 Win 1 Of 100 Copies Of Avira Internet Security

Options
Click Here


Online security has never been so important. Once upon a time viruses would wipe some files, but now they can steal your identity or even the contents of your bank account.

Thankfully, help is at hand in the form of Avira Premium Security Suite, which includes all you need to protect both your computer and your personal information.

To help you on your way, Computeractive has teamed up with Avira to offer a copy each to 100 lucky readers. Not only that, but everyone who enters will receive a three-month complimentary copy.

The virus checker periodically scans all the files on your computer to make sure they haven't been altered without your permission. New files arriving on the computer via downloads are also scanned for malicious software.

Viruses are not the only way that computers can be attacked; sometimes the action is a direct attempt to access the machine itself. A firewall checks all the communication between the computer and all networks, including your home network and the internet.

Avira's Webguard also scans websites to ensure they don't contain malicious software. Most of this safekeeping is invisible - it blocks attacks without any fuss. It can also detect and delete spam to sort real mail from junk. Phishing emails can be identified before they can trick personal information out of users.

As some security software can interfere with online gaming, the suite includes a special gaming mode that blocks pop-up messages while games are running.


Question: What does Webguard scan?


Answer: Websites


Good Luck :D
