Why Traditional Antivirus Programs Are Failing and What You Can Do About It

For years, people relied on traditional antivirus programs to keep their computers safe. But as online threats have changed, these "set it and forget it" programs just don't cut it anymore. We at Securely saw this growing problem in computer security and came up with a game-changing new service to protect your home computer in ways you've never imagined and probably didn’t know you needed.

The Problem with Traditional Computer Security

For more than two decades, our team at Geeks To Go has assisted clients by cleaning viruses from their computers. Yet, in the last decade or so, we noticed the majority of these clients came back six months to a year later with the same issue…viruses! And about 90% of these customers had an antivirus program like Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, or Webroot installed.

Why Old-School Antivirus Software No Longer Does the Job

The problem is that old-school antivirus software failed to give full protection. What’s changed in the last decade is there are too many new threats for these companies to keep up and they never built any checks and balances into their programs to compensate.

For example, having expert technicians double check to make sure nothing was getting through their defenses. Automated programs are wholly unsuccessful. They worked years ago, but in today’s online landscape, they leave computers open to new threats.

Traditional Antivirus Programs Miss Several Key Features:

• Regular Monitoring: Common antivirus software usually runs in the background without ongoing checks to make sure no threats have slipped through.

• Human Oversight: Without the option for manual checkups by skilled professionals, user mistakes often go undetected resulting in infections that automated systems miss.

• Comprehensive Defense: New malware types and clever phishing attacks can get past traditional defenses leaving your computer at risk.
