How to protect my computer from

virus
Never open any attachment unless you know who it's from and
why they are sending it.
Refusing to open unsolicited e-mail of any kind is the only surefire way to sidestep all forms of trouble.
Anti-virus software is crucial to preventing virus attacks, but this
strategy only works if users update their software. Unfortunately,
'keeping it current' means updating it weekly, at least but most
products today allow one to automate this process, but file
downloads can be large and slow.

Conclusion
Viruses are very destructive programs that can be
devastating to companies and individuals.
Upon completion of this project students should be able to
have an understanding of the following:
What viruses are, how they get into a computer, how
viruses can be avoided, how you get rid of viruses, and the
best type of software used to prevent viruses.
