Preaching to the choir...

It's 2011, do you know what's on your Windows PC?  By that, I mean, are you fairly sure you don't have viruses, trojans, keyloggers, and other assorted malware nasties churning in your rig?

Well, if you still aren't running at least some antivirus, or if what you have is more than a year old, here's a story from PC Mag all about 2011's best antivirus software.  It seems to be fairly comprehensive and gives you options for the best scanners and removers, both paid and free.  If you have a few minutes, be sure to check it out.  It could save you a number of hours later.

Personally, I have antivirus running and do a general malware scan with a different product on my Windows 7 PC.  And my Mac?  Still going along without.  Yeah, yeah, I should take my own advice.  One of these days I will, but I still haven't seen any alarms being raised, so yeah, one of these days.  However, that doesn't mean I don't regularly run Clam on it just to check...

How about you?  What do you do to keep your PCs (including Macs) safe?
