Protecting against Computer Viruses

Protecting against computer viruses

 

 

Everytime you visit a site theres a little chance that your computer will be attacked. Security software provides good protection, but does not mean that your PC will never be infected. Of course sites like YouTube, Google can BE infected.

 

Websites offering screensavers, pirate software or games, music downloads and other something-for-nothing attractions are more likely to be infected.

 

 

One of the options to prevent from being attacked by an virus is to have your Firewall turned on, its a good thing that firewall should be tured on because firewall is a device that increases the security of computers on the internet by controlling the connections that can be made between them.

 

Another way of keeping your computer safe and kep away from viruses is to Install an Anti-Virus, There are lots of good free programs available, including Microsoft Security Essentials. Alternatives include Avira AntiVir Personal Edition, Avast! Free Antivirus, and AVG free. Kaspersky is good too – but you’ll have to pay for that program.
