Do you need an Antivirus Software on Windows?

Yes, yes you do need some sort of antivirus app for your Windows OS and my reason for saying that is simple. 90% of all viruses are targeted towards people like you and me, people who have Windows OS installed on our computers. To me, it’s a requirement to have some sort of Antivirus App on any and every Windows system you have, I don’t care if you are reading this on a Windows XP or Windows 11 laptop, you must protect yourself, your files and the best way to do that is to get a good and trusted Antivirus app installed right away, with that said, lets begin with our list.

#1. Download Avast Antivirus For Windows

Avast Antivirus has been by far the best Antivirus software I have ever installed and I really mean that. No virus has gotten past it’s detection system on my Ubuntu desktop, iMac or my Windows 11 laptop for the past 6 years and it’s simply, perfect.

This is my personal review as the webmaster so I highly and I mean highly recommend you try this one out. By the way, it’s also free for those of you on a bit of budget.

You don’t have to worry much about system requirements, if your computer was built within the last 7-8 years, it will work just fine even with the latest Avast, just make sure at least you have enough space on your harddrive, you can’t have a good running PC if you only have like 100mb free space, you will need at least 2gig of free HD space for any of these programs on this list to function correctly.
