Expert Opinion: Free antivirus software could cost your business more than you imagine

Dave Taylor, MD of Amshire IT, warns how free antivirus software could end up costing your business more in the long term.

I hate to break it to you, my friend…Not everything in life that’s free will save you money in the end. I’ll even go on and say that it could actually cost you much, much more than you ever bargained for.

What am I talking about? Antivirus programs, of course!

You see, there are plenty of free versions offered in the market. But they only provide basic protection, which means they can’t detect more sophisticated malware and viruses. And if you can’t get anything beyond basic protection…

You’re putting your business in a very, very vulnerable position!

Because here’s the ugly truth: all it takes is ONE data breach by a cybercriminal to do enough damage to your business… Damage that can cost you millions!

That could be enough to make you close your business… or even put you in massive, my-life-is-over debt.

So, let me ask you: are you willing to put your entire business, and the lives of your clients, at such a great risk? Will you really take that risk just to save money on a free antivirus program?

Any rational person will think twice about how they are protecting what’s near and dear to their heart. That’s why investing in an advanced antivirus program that’s constantly updated will be a smart move on your part. It’ll provide the protection that both your business and your clients need.

That said, I suggest you talk to a professional to determine the exact protection you need.
