My desktop computer has been acting up, telling me I have viruses, that I needed to install one of those antivirus scans. The only thing is that it was going to charge me, it wasn’t something I wanted to spend money on. Yes, I do want my computer to be free of viruses, protected and all that but software is just so expensive. You buy the computer, printer, ink, paper to get you by, then you have to spend $50-$80 to keep it safe. I know it’s important, but so is eating and making ends meet.
Well, being frugal, cheap, whatever you call it, I found out that AOL has free downloads.
For free, I got protection against spyware and viruses, and a firewall to keep those darn hackers out. Remember that entry I posted with the hacker scam?
If you go to the AOL website, you’ll find out that they offer much more for free; parental controls so you can monitor your kid’s computer activity, a tool to diagnose common PC problems, multimedia player and many more gadgets and widgets.
Why do I have to pay for anything???…and you don’t have to either, just stay tuned for the other things I discover!
