Do Your PC Really Require Antivirus? | Should You Expect Or Waste Of Time??

Hello Reader
Do your PC have antivirus?
Do we really need one?

Let us discuss




Antivirus is designed to detect the threat in computer systems. In todays, ongoing online threats having a computer connected to a network are more likely to be infected by a virus. Everyone might be having antivirus in their systems installed to defend your computer against a threat that enters your computer. 
But have you wondered any time that do you really need any one of them?

The answer is supposed to Yes and No. Now you will say what am I saying.

Yes, you do require antivirus if you have less knowledge about computers and networking. Such peoples computer are more likely to affect a virus as they do not know how to get rid of it. You may require it in the situation where some of your friends or anybody lends you a pen drive and you want to know whether it contains a malware or not.

No, If you are an expert at computers and tech geek. You can take care of your computer by not visiting sites that are less secured or by not downloading files from any untrusted sources. You can also not let any pen drives connect to your devices without your permissions.

You always pay for an antivirus every year which just shows pop-ups in your computer such as threat detected! And make you feel that it defended against a virus to save your computer. Actually, Antivirus companies update the database of the antivirus often as new virus are reveal. They just add definitions about a virus to the database and as any similar sort of codes is found in any files or software enter your computer then antivirus detects it as a threat.

Moreover, Operating systems are getting smarter and smarter Microsoft has its own built-in windows defender that keeps an eye on each file entering your system on detecting the threat and removes it immediately. It was designed by Microsoft to keep their OS unaffected by any threat. Microsoft also updates its databases on regular basis to defend against the threat.

You also require to update your windows pc to the latest version.This makes your computer by fixing any loopholes or bugs remains in the system providing you up to date security.

If you feel that your computer is more likely to be targeted by threats and viruses then having an antivirus is a must for you. Don't think more just have one installed.

I am not against any antivirus companies they do offer you the best security layer for your computer.

If you think you are kind enough and know to a self-deal any threat then you may live your life without needing to pay every year renewing your antivirus.
