Best Tips to Defend Against Viruses and Worms
You must safeguard your PC. Following these basic rules will help you protect you and your family whenever you go online.
1. Protect your computer with strong security software and keep it updated. McAfee Total Protection for Small Business provides proven PC protection from Trojans, hackers, and spyware. Its integrated anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and backup technologies work together to combat today's advanced multi-faceted attacks. It scans disks, email attachments, files downloaded from the Web, and documents generated by word processing and spreadsheet programs.
2.Use a security-conscious Internet service provider (ISP) that implements strong anti-spam and anti-phishing procedures.
3.Use caution when opening attachments. Configure your anti-virus software to automatically scan all email and instant message attachments. Make sure your email program doesn't automatically open attachments or automatically render graphics, and ensure that the preview pane is turned off. Never open unsolicited emails, or attachments that you're not expecting—even from people you know.
4.Configure your instant messaging application correctly. Make sure it does not open automatically when you fire up your computer.
5.Beware of spam-based phishing schemes. Don't click on links in emails or IM.
6.Back up your files regularly and store the backups somewhere besides your PC. If you fall victim to a virus attack, you can recover photos, music, movies, and personal information like tax returns and bank statements.
7.Stay aware of current virus news by checking sites like McAfee® Avert® Threat Center.
