Some additional tips:
- Always be cautious when opening email attachments, even those coming from friends, co- workers or family members. Never open email attachments from strangers, delete them right away. You should also be careful when downloading files from websites. Only use websites that are trustworthy.
-Check all removable storage media such as floppy disks, CDs and USB flash drives carefully using a virus scanner before you start using them.
-Make backups of all your personal files. Should a virus “attack” your notebook, you will still have the backups.
-Do not use illegal copies of software protected by copyright.
-Perform a complete system scan regularly using an antivirus program and update it often.
-When your notebook is connected to a network, please make sure that only authorised persons have access to your notebook (you can use passwords and share files as “Read Only”).
-Always use a personal Internet Firewall to help protect your notebook from attacks by viruses, trojans, worms and intruders.
