How to Avoid Viruses

There are viruses all over the Web, just waiting to infect your computer. These malicious software programs can corrupt or erase the data on your hard drive. However, if you take the proper security precautions, you can surf to your heart's desire without ever contracting a virus.

How to avoid viruses

Email. One of the most common methods of spreading viruses is through email attachments. The virus file is typically launched when you open the attachment. For that reason, it's important to set your preferences so that your email program doesn't open attachments automatically when you view a message. Never click on any email message from any person you don't know if it contains an attachment. Instead, delete it without opening it. Also, watch out for links in email messages from strangers, especially spam emails. They may send you to a site that will put a virus on your computer.

For more, read our article "Keep Your Email Safe and Avoid Spam".

Instant messaging. Instant messaging (IM) is another way that viruses can get on your computer. Often, the virus is in a file or a link that's included with the IM. The same rules for email messages apply here—don't click on any file or link from any person you aren't familiar with.

Five new phishing scams to watch out for

Phishing is the term that describes the illegal attempt to steal sensitive information from unsuspecting people, most frequently over the internet.

It often seeks to trick people into submitting their account passwords, banking or other financial information, or the answers to security questions. While some of the scams are clearly identifiable, due to their lack of professional appearance or poor grammar, others are sophisticated enough to create a money-making opportunity for the criminals behind the scams.

Here are some of the newest scams to watch out for.

1. Web Browser Hijacking and Scareware

Hijacking occurs when malicious software that redirects web searches to fake websites is installed on a computer.

Although it looked like the last week was quite calm, cyber criminals were busy creating new threats. The recent fake application is called AntiVirus Studio 2010. As most of the rogueware, it reminds a legitimate software but is nothing more than scam.

As most of the rogueware applications, AntiVirus Studio 2010 is based on Trojans, i.e. the software is able to install itself without your permission or acceptance. For this reason, you should strictly observe what websites you visit and what things you download from internet. In addition, always use the latest version of your antivirus software.

Protect Your Computer from Viruses

As everyone who has ever had the flu knows, viruses can be devastating—and computers don't get off any easier than people. Even though a flu virus and a computer virus have obvious differences, there are some similarities: Both you and your computer get viruses from others who are already infected, and prevention can help keep both of you healthy.

Keep in mind that the steps listed in this article are only recommendations that may help prevent virus infection and help deal with it if one does occur. This topic is complex, and it changes rapidly, so it's important to stay vigilant and stay informed.

Prevention is the key.

Your best defense is to keep your system from getting infected in the first place because once it is, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to get rid of the virus. The road to prevention begins with these steps:

Install effective anti-virus software. Anti-virus software is widely available; any online or brick-and-mortar store that sells software will offer a number of products. These products typically require an annual subscription, which lets you keep your anti-virus software up to date and ready to detect the latest threats.
Tip: For added protection, consider buying a security suite that includes firewall software and other protection (such as spam filtering).
Avoid risky behavior. For example: never open an email attachment that comes from someone you don't know, and avoid downloading anything from the Internet that might not be trustworthy. Keep in mind that humorous material is often passed along, from address to address, through email. It's best not to open this type of file, because even if the attachment is from someone you know, they may be unknowingly passing along a virus.
