How to keep your computer safe from virus threats?

Microsoft Windows is the most used Operating System on this earth. As millions are using it for their work, profession, entertainment and home use; the black collar persons like hackers mostly target Windows OS and create viruses for its destruction. Almost 99% of the viruses are made to infect the Windows computer only. If you are online at Internet or transferring the data from external sources, then your Windows PC is prone to get the virus infections. Viruses can cause the permanent loss of data and even crash your computer. So, is there any way to keep your computer safe? Yes there are few options to be considered for keeping your computer safe. Let us have a look on these tips.



Protection first
Almost each OEM Windows PC comes pre-installed with trial or full version antivirus. Also, the driver disc of almost every motherboard contains a trial antivirus. This is because you can have trusted protection layer for your valuable computer. You should install a full version and trusted antivirus such as Norton, Symantec, McAfee, Panda, Kaspersky, Trend Micro etc. If you could not afford its cost then go for a free antivirus like Avira Antivir, AVG Antivirus, and Microsoft Security Essential.

We suggest you to go for an antivirus that can offer real-time protection, automatic virus definition update, incoming & outgoing email scan, spam filter, parental control, real-time URL check, scheduled automatic scans etc.

AntiSpyware
Today, a virus doesn’t come alone in the computer. It arrives with its neighborhood companions including Trojan horses, worm, spyware, malware, adware etc. These can even block the installed antivirus, Windows Firewall, and other programs without notifying the user. In such situations, you can use an antispyware to scan the computer and to remove such harmful elements. Few trusted antispyware are Spybot S&D, MalwareBytes, Windows Defender, SUPERAntiSpyware, etc.

Thinking exactly which antivirus and antispyware you should use, then contact antivirus support service provider.

Scan the files before usage
Do you often transfer the files from external devices, removable drives, or optical discs in the computer? Then, it is better to scan these external media before transferring the files even if your antivirus offers real-time protection during file transfer.

Be Genuine
The pirated applications and non-genuine Windows are completely insecure as they are open for hackers, spyware and intruders. Therefore, it is better to use free open-source software and operating system instead of the pirated version of your favorite program.

Stay up-to-date
Set the Windows, Antivirus, Firewall, AntiSpyware, Web browser, and other software to automatically receive the updates from their respective companies. You can also manually update them from time to time. The updates will help you to keep ahead of the latest threats scattering around the globe on World Wide Web. If you are facing problem in updating these software and Windows, then take help of tech support online immediately to fix it up.

Do not
1.    set the attachments to open automatically. Always open the attachments manually.
2.    open the emails arrived from unknown sources.
3.    open the email until you clearly understand the sender’s address. A phishing email has trusted brand names like ‘COCA COLA’ or ‘WHITE HOUSE’ but sender’s email address may not be trustworthy.
4.    boot the computer from unknown disc or removable drive.
5.    download unknown or malicious software from the Web even if it seems to be a prize.
