Tips

Be wary about opening attachments, even from people that you know. If possible, have the attachment scanned first before opening it.
Here are three applications that you need to install if you do not have them: an antivirus, an anti-spyware, and a firewall. All three are freely available from the Internet. Be sure to update them regularly.
Avoid browsing websites with which you are not familiar and remember that potentially risk websites mainly come through forwarded emails.
If you are using operating systems that predate Windows XP, you must frequently update and apply patches to your computer system. Choose the Windows option in your Start menu to get regular updates.
Stay legal: avoid downloading illegal software applications or trying to crack them using patches available online. A large number of these software programmes contain hidden malware.
