Potentially the most important bit of software that anyone needs, a good anti-virus software will at least once in your time using a PC, save you from total annihilation of your data and offer you protection from all evil things.

The guys at AVG South Africa have been kind enough to hook me up with 9 prizes to give away to my readers to celebrate the launch of the anti-virus software’s latest version AVG 9.0

1. 3 copies of AVG Internet Security 9.0 valued at R399 each.
2. 6 copies of AVG Anti-virus 9.0 valued at R299 each.

I have to admit, that I have been using the AVG Free version for a few years on my own PC and always favoured it over its competiting products like Avast! Anti-virus, McAffee Anti-virus, Norton Anti-virus, etc (I have been forced to use McAffee on another laptop as it was a corporate policy at a company that I have worked for)

My reasoning for favouring AVG Anti-virus has always been simple:

• AVG is light-weight and will not require it’s own server room to install, so the file size is small.
• Updates are frequent and consistent, which means that the guys writing the fixes for all the viruses are kept busy and know what they are doing.
• It works! Without having to tweak the anti-virus software, it works well enough to not ever have to adjust the settings.

The competition is simple. Email your answers to [email protected] and place DChetty.co.za in the subject line. If you are one of the fastest 9 correct entrants, the AVG security guys will be in contact with you to arrange delivery of your prizes. It’s THAT simple!

Questions:

1. What kind of software will save your data from total annihiliation at least once using a PC?
2. I am giving away 3 of copies of which software?
3. What will a good anti-virus software offer you?

The answers are hidden with my article.

Good luck!
