Whether you’re a home user or a small business, your computers are always at risk from viruses, adware, and malware when browsing the internet. That’s why robust internet security is essential to protect your digital assets from these threats.
There are many antivirus solutions available, from well-known brands like ESET, Norton, and Kaspersky. However, not all provide the same level of protection. At Your IT Guardian, we only offer solutions from trusted vendors that deliver the best security for your systems.
There are two main types of antivirus solutions:
- Retail Antivirus Software: These are the typical solutions you can purchase from stores like Officeworks or Harvey Norman.
- Managed Antivirus: This is a more advanced option where the antivirus status on your computer is monitored via a central console. If your antivirus isn’t up-to-date, an alert is triggered. In most cases, we can resolve the issue remotely without disturbing you, but if necessary, we’ll reach out to resolve it quickly.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive solution, we offer managed services that go beyond antivirus protection. We’ll monitor your system to ensure it has the latest Windows updates, successful backups, up-to-date antivirus, and adequate disk space. This way, you can rest assured that your computer is fully protected and optimized.
The solutions we provide are:
Standalone Security (ESET)
For the past two years, ESET has been recommended by Choice, but we’ve been endorsing it for over five years. In our opinion, it’s the best antivirus solution on the market, offering superior protection and reliability.
