| The very first thing you need when you start using a computer is VIRUS protection software | |
| You Must keep this uptodate and run it reglaly Check how many files have been inspected | |
| You should also run windows updates frequently. Windows is a complicated piece of software and is vunerable to being attacked. Microsoft issue updates when an attack is detected to prevent your system being violated. | |
| Other essential software is Anti Spyware. Essentially this attempts to stop programs being downloaded onto your computer which check up on what you are doing. | |
| You should also ensure that the Privacy settings in Internet Explorer are set as high as possible without interfeering with your requirements. | |
| Do NOT download unsolicited software to remove viruses. Some of my clients have needed a complete computer rebuild after being frightened into loading some software that SAID they had a VIRUS. The software then demanded money before allowing the computer to continue working | |
| If you think you have a virus and your AV software has failed to remove contact me for advice | |
| There are out on the web some free specialised software that may help | |
| If All else fails you should always have a full backup of any data on the system and all the software disks. Ideally a full system backup would be nice | |
| Remember DO NOT Panic |
