6 Tips for Protecting Your PC from Virus Attacks



Computer is always at the risk of getting infected with virus or malicious applications. We should get more security measures for protecting our PC from virus attacks effectively:

#1 Do not download any programs from insecure websites.

It will be tough for some users because they can not judge which is the secure website and which is the malicious one. To get worse, there are so many free download websites on line. We can not make sure whether they have been protected or not. So the better way for doing this is to process the virus scan before downloading from these sites.

#2 Use common sense to detect virus.

It is useful to use common sense to detect virus on some occasions. Do not open any unknown email or attachment. For the suspicious emails, you should delete them immediately. For some attachments that with the .jpg suffix, you can not fall into their trap and click them. Once you click, you actually are clicking a malicious virus and your PC must be infected.

#3 Be careful about the fraud virus/tools.

Oftentimes you may get an email from a friend says that there is a dangerous and terrible virus and you had better send this email to your other friends, in case their PC get infected with it. It is no doubt that this email provides you fraud virus/tool which aims to fool you into buying some programs for solving this problem. This junk email does not only waste your time and money, but also bring grave harm to your computer.

#4 Get an excellent security program for protecting your PC.

I believe most computer users will do this. Here I am reminding you to run the completely virus scan especially when you just install your security tool for the first time. It may take some time, but the thorough virus scan will help you a lot in maintaining your computer security.

#5 Get a Fire Wall on your computer.

If you use your machine a lot and always connect to internet, then you need a Fire Wall to block the visits from strangers or hackers. If your system can not be protected effectively, your address, credit card number and other private information may be stolen online.

#6 Install an effective and real security tool on your PC.

Do not fall into the trap of some fraud tools which seem like real security tools. The more important thing is to keep your real guard program up-to-date. With the latest version and the strongest anti-virus protection, you can be at ease with your PC security
