Using a computer is a constant battle against viruses that are always trying to invade your system, steal your information, hack your computers or even blackmail you to pay hefty ransoms.
All computer users are aware how much of a nuisance or threat the viruses are and make continuous investments in the form of anti-virus programs to prevent their invasion or at least install free anti-virus programs to keep them off.
