Protect your PC with best anti-malware programs of 2017

If you have never taken care of your computer’s security, 2017 is the best year for that. Believing that you won’t be fooled by fake email and you will never install ransomware is not a good idea. Thinking that identity theft is not happening and only silly people lose their money to cyber crimes is also not a wise move. According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2016 in England and Wales have been 3.8 million fraud and 2.0 million computer misuse incidents. Half of the frauds (1.9 million incidents) was cybercrimes. Meanwhile, 1.4 million computer misuse cases included computer virus-related incidents, and 0.6 million incidents were related to unauthorised access to personal information. Online security specialists do not expect a decrease in cyber crimes and malware attacks. That’s why we suggest strengthening your computer’s safety and looking for the best anti-malware software. In order to help you, we provided a list of the security tools that are worth giving a try.
