Antivirus software for all Operating Systems

While Windows may be ubiquitous, there is a thriving variety of alternative Operating Systems for business and home use. However, alternative Operating Systems aren’t as risk free as some people might think.

Microsoft Windows is the most common platform for malware due to its high market share. The number of new malicious programs targeting Windows 7 is far higher than the number targeting non-Windows users, so windows 7 antivirus is a common software.

In fact, the majority of viruses identified to date (well over 2 million) target Windows. Yet Operating Systems such as Linux, Apple OSX, and now Google Android, also face their own unique threats.

Windows file security

If, like most computer users, you are on a Windows Operating System, you will need PC antivirus software. All these products are fully compatible with Microsoft’s newest Operating System, Windows 7.

Macintosh antivirus security

If you are a Mac user, try Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac, which has been developed to meet the Mac antivirus needs of users who know the value of the data stored on their computers.

Other threats

As web applications, or apps, become more prevalent, your computer system is open to more threats. These attacks often move from person to person through apps such as Google Wave and Facebook which in recent years have accounted for a significant increase in cyber attacks. This is why it has never been more important to protect your system no matter which Operating System you use.

Smartphones

Your smartphone is also a computer, albeit slightly less powerful than your laptop or PC. There has also been a rise in the number of mobile device threats, exploiting the popularity of Android and the Windows based smartphones.

In fact, today’s smartphones have their very own Operating Systems, including Windows, Google Android and others, which means they need their own antivirus program.

You can keep your private life truly private with a product such as Kaspersky Mobile Security software.
