I see a lot of computer problems. Everyone in the neighborhood brings every problem to my door. There is nothing worse than something that can be prevented for free. I’m talking about a computer infected with a virus.
There are a thousand ways of catching one of these things. The most common method is via email. As a rule, you should never open an attachment. Never. Period. I know you are going to open up files your friends send you. Everyone does. That’s why the virus creators use email to spread their wares.
I use AVG Anti-Virus. It is free.
Once installed, it automatically checks for updates. All my email gets filtered through the virus checker as well. Something else that is just as important – it doesn’t slow my computer down.
Don’t download illegal software and don’t open email attachments. Those two things will protect you from most of the problems out there. A free anti-virus program will take care of the rest.
