When I was looking to get a laptop, I wanted to go with Mac for one main reason; they are more difficult to infect with viruses. I believe I use just a little bit of protection from Mcafee, it was a very cheap product that we bought when I got my laptop. I haven't ever had any issues with viruses/or malware, so I have been very lucky - but then again, that's what Macs are most known for, as well. ]]> 2016-08-30 16:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_watkins79922/72opk9l596ap/wish/120608417 paige_watkins79922 https://padlet.com/paige_watkins79922/72opk9l596ap/wish/120611925 Listed below, is what I have found to be the top 10 best virus protection software in 2016.

Viruses and malware on computer can cost lost of money to fix, or cleanup -- so it may be the smart step to take the extra step & spend the money from the get go, rather than waiting for your computer to become infected & then deciding to get your computer cleaned up. ]]> 2016-08-30 16:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_watkins79922/72opk9l596ap/wish/120617681
