When can I install an antivirus program?

Hi , Fred hope the following steps will guide you in fixing of this issue.:..:
Hi Fred ,Â
Your PC is always open to threats and malware especially if you are using any versions of windows Operating system.
When ?? When you purchase your PC for a literally expensive rate ,Please also consider buying a good antivirus software.
It helps to
1. maintain System stability .Â
2. Protection from Viruses.
3. Protection from Spam and Scam pages.
4. Anti-PhishingÂ
5. Web protectionÂ
6. And overall System Defense including a good Firewall much better than stock windows firewall.
7. File scan for the whole computer or critical areas or even custom scans to search for any viruses or malware.
If you have an internet connection your level of risk of getting a Malware attack is 100% . Let me say 100% .
From my personal experience i suggest Kaspersky internet security 2012 , the best antivirus known to me.Â
I used almost all the commercially available antivirus, and i just got satisfied with Kaspersky only , First try its trial version for 30 days if you like then  only buy a valid license.
