Online Antivirus Programs

Before we talk about online antivirus programs, it is essential to know what a virus is. A computer virus is in fact a set of codes which is programmed to bring doom to your PC. It slows down your computer so much that you literally fall asleep while installing a program, or worse, it can crash your PC terribly. There is also a risk of your confidential data being transferred to others without your notice. These are done by spywares. So if you observe that you computer is working very slow and crashes every time then its time for you to scan it for viruses and other harmful programs.
Internet is like a blessing to all of us. Without internet, a computer is like a person without a soul. And if you are looking for the scanning of your computer then internet is the best option. There are now tons of Online Antivirus Programs available which scan your computer effectively to find any viruses. These antivirus programs work through the internet protocol and scan your PC. There are many online antivirus programs, which are either free or paid, but only few are the best. Here are the few that are of good quality,

• BitDefender: this is the best online antivirus scanner till date. But the problem with this is that it gets false positives. By false positives I mean that it gives a notification of a virus even if it is not a virus. But this not a major problem as long as it detects viruses effectively.
• Panda: Panda is a renowned company in the field of computer security. Its online scan is of top most quality and very reliable. But currently it is not working with Windows Vista. So all you Vista users have to wait till the guys at Panda release a Vista compatible version.
• Ewido: the internet is flooded with spyware removal programs right now. But most of these are spywares themselves. Ewido is the best and the most trusted spyware removal program on the internet. It can also find other malicious programs like Trojans also.
• ouseCall: though not as effective as BitDefender, HouseCall is trusted by many people and it is very reliable. It has been around for a long time and it does its job quite well.

There are many other online antivirus programs like Kaspersky virus scan, avast online scan, F-secure online scan etc. But always be careful to read the reviews of other users, or else you may find yourself in deep trouble.
