In a world where cyber hackers attack every 39 seconds and nearly 1 million threats are being released every single day, it is quite tough or next to impossible to achieve 100% cyber protection. But as they say, prevention is better than cure, it would be wise enough to stay safe by using an internet security software. Not just one, but thousands of threats are lurking in the cyberscape to execute attacks and infections. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most common ways through which users get their systems and devices compromised:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicking on random links that redirect you to malicious websites can infect your system with malware in no time. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downloading suspicious attachments, files or folders and enabling browser plugins can lead to automatic malware installation on your system. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inserting random USB drives, DVDs, Hard drives and other such devices can kill your system and data. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running unpatched software on your computer gives attackers the opportunity to exploit software vulnerabilities, crack your security and get malware onto your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>How is Antivirus Protection Useful?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antivirus software is specially designed and developed to catch and quarantine malware before it does any damage to a system. Malware like rootkits, adware, viruses, worms, trojans, etc. can make you lose more than a fortune if not detected and removed. With an antivirus, all your sensitive data including financial statements, credentials, personal details, etc that can be misused by attackers remains safe and secure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a common myth amongst internet users that antivirus software slows down or hamper the performance of their systems. But the reality is that modern day antivirus programs are less in size and consume less memory on your system. These software are developed in such a way that they do not affect the speed of your computer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides protection to your computer system, the handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets also need antivirus protection. HummingBad, which is an Android malware, has infected over 10 million operating systems. Some notable mobile malware programs include Gingermaster, Comwarrior, Ikee, Skulls, Gunpoder, etc. A mobile security app can, therefore, be a useful program for your smartphone protection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the cot of damage caused by i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s estimated to hit $6 trillion annually by 2021, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it is a must-to-have protection layer that each and every internet user. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Browsing internet safely is one of the biggest challenges these days.
