did you know?     

  • Spyware, adware, and other malware can slowly yet suddenly infect a system, rendering it unbearably slow. Most of this 'badware' can go undetected for long periods of time (where does that stuff come from anyway?), and before you know it, your system is taking forever to boot up and you're being bombarded by pop-up windows.

    While security suites such as Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro (along with AT&T's Online Security Suite and Charter's High-Speed Internet Security Suite) do a good job of preventing infection, free tools, depending on your situation, can oftentimes do the same trick without dipping into your wallet or slowing your system's loading time down.

    If your personal situation warrants a combination of free tools to protect you from the baddies out on the Web, it'll save you money - and program loading times. Why not find out?
