With all the hype about regarding viruses and virus protection, some people wonder if the investment is really worth it. A good virus protection system now costs $150-$180 and many of the annual subscription services are even more expensive. Therefore the question certainly remains - are virus protection system really worth the money?
The answer has been and will continue to be a resounding YES! The investment in any software - any asset for that matter - is typically judged on the cost of investment as compared to the cost of repairing or recreating the status quo, should you experience a loss. This is the standard against which all investment versus risk scenarios are judged. If you have a loss - head crash, lost data, corrupt files - the cost to restore your prior status is minor compared to the cost of the software to protect you.
What is most insidious in this case is the fact that you will likely not even be aware of the problem when it first occurs. When you sustain a security crash - meaning a virus, Trojan horse, or malware enters your system - it is likely that you are unaware and its presence is typically unnoticed at first. After it begins to propagate and delete files - including replicating itself and sending errant emails - it will be too late and the damage will have been done.
By the time you become aware of the problem you will be in a state of chaos and often your system is not even functional to save itself. In other words, often a corrupt PC will not even boot or restart, and that can mean that you will be unable to run any virus correction software at that point. Often you will not even be able to execute a system restore.
In order to correct your corrupt system you will have to get professional help and have a service or techie do a scrub of your PC to remove the virus. Unless you have taken specific precautions against it, your data will likely be corrupt and much of it will be lost or unrecoverable. You may even have to reinstall damaged application software.
Most people, when they are presented with the facts concerning loss versus the cost of protection clearly recognize that doing without virus protection is certainly not worth the risk. So, as can clearly be seen from this review of risk versus cost-of-protection, doing without virus protection is an unwise business decision.
In addition to virus protection you should also regularly update and restore our Windows System Registry. You can buy good registry software that performs the scan and delete functions and does other registry fix functions that accomplish the needed Registry Repair.
