We’ve covered the Cost of Free Software before, but let’s expand that a little bit. Free software can be great. They can keep your computer clean of junk files, and others like PDF Readers are almost mandatory.
Do your research when installing free software. An all in one PC Cleaner that will clean your junk files, make your computer faster and remove all viruses with one click sounds great right? Most of these programs will do the complete opposite of what they say they will do. If you see free software ad’s on Google or most other sites it is most likely not good for you computer.
Once you have decided on your software to download, pay close attention when installing it. When installing some software read the fine print. They may ask you to install a toolbar or security scanners that will of course make your life easier. Just say no to these extra programs! Make sure you remove the check mark from the box next to the offer.
Is it too late for you and your computer? Do you have more toolbars on your browser then you know what to do with? Come and see us to get you all cleaned up and running free of all that junk software.
