The battle continues to rage between hackers and writers of malicious virus software, much of this happens silently in the background and in a world most ordinary internet users do not understand or have any awareness of.

A number of our members have recently reported attacks and it’s for this reason that we’d like you to double check that your antivirus software is up to date and working well. It only takes 5 minutes to check it so do it now.

Should you need to upgrade there is a great comparison site for antivirus gratis here available in both in English and Spanish (for our Latin American readers). It’s easier to sort through all the garbage and sales speak when you see the programs listed side by side in direct comparison which is exactly what this site does.
