How do I prevent a virus?
Detailed Explanation
- Load only software from original disks or CD's. Pirated or copied software is always a risk for a virus.
- Execute only programs of which you are familiar as to their origin. Programs sent by email should always be suspicious.
- Computer uploads and "system configuration" changes should always be performed by the person who is responsible for the computer.
- Password protection should be employed.
- Check all shareware and free programs downloaded from on-line services with a virus checking program.
- Purchase or download a anti-virus program that runs as you boot or work your computer. Up-date it frequently. There are free anti-virus programs availible.
