Malware software in computers is found all over the Internet. One should always remain conscious of downloading anything that is unfamiliar. Remember that any antivirus program can't give you a 100% virus protection. You should have the necessary skill in knowing how to prevent yourself from downloading virus infected files. Being a computer fanatic myself, I would like to share with you some useful advice on how you could protect your computer from getting virus infection and most especially how you could avoid downloading malicious files.
• Let's begin with getting e-mails. If you are unsure of the e-mail sender's identity, don't click it open, or seek help from someone you know.
• Never think about downloading all those keygens and program cracks. If you intend to keep your PC clean and free from infection, you should only buy your desired software from any authorized dealer. That way, you are sure to be free from any virus threat.
• Be sure that you use only the correct antivirus program. If you're the type who browses the Internet a lot, you have to confirm that you are using antivirus software developed especially to provide Internet security. There are several variations of anti-virus infection types. One example is the antivirus software which is solely created to scan e-mails. Another one is the "Trojan Removals," which as the name implies, are meant to eradicate Trojan horses.
• Stay away from using software from an unreliable source. For your own protection, it's better to use commercially available software either found in flash disks/DVDs or sent to your e-mail by a reputable seller.
If your task is to protect very secret data on your PC, then you must always opt to use a much secured operating program. There is a big discrepancy between each operating system and its corresponding security measures. A good example is Windows which is a good choice because it is compatible with several antivirus software, though the reason for this is that several viruses are targeted for it as well. If you don't feel comfortable enough on how you could avoid downloading an infected file and how you could be protected, it's advisable to use UNIX or Mac operating systems. Moreover, if you already know that your PC is infected, you have to quickly navigate over the Internet for useful information about the virus. You can type the information about this dilemma in countless search engines - there could be several users already sharing their advice. Otherwise, you can try to ask for assistance in forums which focuses on protecting your PC from viruses. Always be cautious, there are so many harmful Internet viruses and the number of victims has already increased dramatically.
