Why Antivirus and Firewalls are essential?

Posted by Edward

Try to check files with antivirus to make sure that files are free of viruses.

How to shutdown PC automatically

Posted by Edward

As you know if we start scanning for viruses by antivirus then it can take several minutes to several hours to complete. But if someone have to go somewhere, mostly he turns his PC off without getting scan complete. There are also some other situations like this. I have seen many times most people let their PC working and go to their work and then their PC may keep running whole the day long.
If you are downloading something then mostly now in all downloaders this option is available that shuts down your pc after download is completed. But if you are doing such thing in which option like this is not available (like PC scan), then what will you do?

Increase the trial of ESET NOD 32 Antivirus

Posted by Edward

We know ESET NOD 32 is among best antivirus software so that's why this is not free. This antivirus comes with a 30 day trial version and after this we have to buy ESET NOD 32 antivirus for our protection from viruses.
But you can register it using some fake keys etc. But after registering it using fake keys it'll stop updating its virus signature database. These database should update at-least once a day. So if virus signature database of it is not being updated then this antivirus has no advantage. Because new virus signature database are not present and antivirus don't detect any virus if virus is modern and virus signature database is old.
This antivirus is built for speed.

Solution:

We cannot use any other method for getting free security from ESET NOD 32 antivirus. So we can only get free security from ESET NOD 32 Antivirus by increasing its trial period.
