Quick Tips - Steps to take to protect your system from a computer virus, worm, or other malicious software or attacks through the Internet:
- Install anti-virus software.
- Install the latest patches and updates for your operating system and web browser.
- Install the latest patches for other programs and applications, especially your e-mail program.
- Don't open e-mail attachments unless you are absolutely sure what it is and virus detection software is installed, updated, and running.
- Many e-mail 'worms' use the victim's address book so it looks like it came from someone you know.
- Don't believe everything you read!
- For added protection install a personal firewall. A personal firewall manages all communications between your computer and the Internet and can alert you possible attacks that won't be picked up by anti-virus software.
