1.Get a antivirus software to suit your needs. If u do not, u will most likely get a virus within your first hour of surfing the internet.But if u have a antivirus software it does not means that u can get away from virus. It also depends on whether u download files or not, if u open email attachments, and if u surf suspicious websites.
2.Having a good antivirus software to protect your computer is great, however if u do not update the virus definitions regularly, then the program is useless.As new viruses are produces everyday and that is why we have to update the viruses definitions.
3.When surfing the internet, avoid websites that contain illegal software downloads, sexual references, free screensavers, cracks, serials, etc. If u are near these sites u are immediately asking for troubles.
4.Be careful when opening emails,there are obvious emails that u should not open, but even if u got it from someone u know. Your friend may have a virus and it is spreading itself through emails. An email cannot be important enough to risk u getting virus. Delete the email and send a fresh email to your friend to ask them if they did send u the email.
