Put a antivirus?

First, let's understand why you need to put anti-virus software and anti-virus put it all?

To the question "Why do I need antivirus" response will be utterly simple: that he was able to find on your hard drive viruses and remove them, and if possible - to cure. Ideally, of course, should not allow the anti-virus infected a computer, but let's be realistic: it would break, and only way to find himself.

When need antivirus? First you need to think, from where you can pick up the virus . The most successful sites for this:

Internet. Not just because I put it first in the list. These days, most of the viral starts here "epidemic." Surfing the Internet without antivirus can be compared to an orgy in a brothel without a condom (forgive me for being rude.) Try not to come on unverified sites, especially Pestryaev headlines and advertising.
E-mail. Of course, you can take it to the "Internet", but the number of e-mails to infectious causes distinguish it as a separate item. I can here give simple advice: do not open emails from unknown sources, especially if they have attached files . This is almost certainly infected. Have not yet decided whether to put an antivirus? Then move on.
Stick . Rare stuff, especially autorun.inf - most "chastozarazhaemy" file on the flash media. Try to always check your flash drive after it is inserted into other people's computers (from a friend at work, at the University of \ school, gos.uchrezhdeniyah - almost all of the public computers are always full of viruses for all tastes, but there just across the so-called "worms ").
Phones. Yes, the mobile phones, which are all connected, "recharge" or throw a new tune \ toy. Before, I did not come across viruses from the phones, but in the last couple of years began to notice a sad trend of growth of infections with mobile phones (the principle is the same as that of the flash cards).
Public Wi-Fi network. With their appearance, even at McDonald's can be "hacked", so be careful!
Exotic ways. Here you can select methods that have in the last decade have been quite common, but is now used less and less. This infection through: connected another hard drive, it is not clear where the purchased CD / DVD, floppy (to replace them came the stick .)

From all this we can conclude: in our time to put antivirus necessary!

Do not install an antivirus program only if you use a computer, "sterile" - put only licensed software and games, do not go online (that you would have violated since reading this article). Another option - if you have a MacOS, Linux \ Unix, but the vast majority of computers for home use are now working on Windows , so the question, "To put a antivirus" all the same answer more positively.

By the way, about hackers: if you are so much afraid of breaking, put another Firewall (if you do not know what it is - the internet is full of definitions). However, hackers have little interest in common, "average" users. So, if nothing important on the computer you do not keep secrets (passwords bank cards, electronic invoices, projects, state secret ) You can about it and not to worry.
