    Hi, I'm Don Schechter for About.com Computing. Today I'll give you some tips to avoid computer viruses.

    Anti-Virus Software 安裝殺毒軟件

    You should always have anti-virus software. It comes pre-installedon most new computers, but if you don't have it yet, be sure to checkout McAfee, Symantec, or other anti-virus software.

    Programs are continually learning their vulnerabilities and the engineers who wrote them are coming out with updates to help with their security. Check for updates not just on your operating system, but also for your software programs.

    Create a Firewall 建立防火墻

    Most new computers come with a built in firewall. Firewalls are a necessary part of safe web surfing.

    Browse Safely Online 檢查瀏覽器的安全選項

    Check your internet browsers security options to ensure browsing safety. There are always options to eliminate pop-ups whether you'reusing Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

    Guard Against Email Viruses 當(dāng)心陌生郵件

    Guard your email against spam which may contain worms or trojans.Do not open email attachments from people you do not recognize. If you need to open a suspicious email, read it in plain text if its available.

    Avoid File-Sharing Programs 文件下載與共享的潛在危險

    Free file-sharing programs including Torrent and Kazaa are often filled with trojans, viruses, worms and all kinds of malware. If you don't know from whom you're downloading, it is not a good idea to do so. Peer-to-peer file sharing is never safe.

    Beware Internet Scams 小心網(wǎng)絡(luò)騙局

    Lastly, you should be knowledgeable of current internet scams. Do not fall for unsolicited job offer emails, promised lottery winnings or emails posing a security concern from a bank or e-commerce site.

    Stay cautious and follow these tips to protect yourself and your computer.
