Most of us get free virus protection when we buy a PC or laptop. After the first year, you receive a pop-up screen asking for you to renew your subscription for a fee. Most internet providers now give you free virus protection software as part of their internet service. The trick to installing new virus software is making sure that the old software is completely uninstalled. Simply uninstalling the software in the control panel does not always work. Most of the major anti-virus software companies offer a free program that uninstalls their anti-virus software. Check your particular software companies website for a free copy of this removal software or contact me at suncitygeek@gmail.com and I will send you a link.
