Use anti-virus software: Most viruses usually enter a computer as an attachment to an e-mail. A virus can wreak ha voc on computer data and lead to costly repairs. Anti-virus software scans a computer and your e-mail for viruses, and then deletes them.
Regularly update anti-virus software: Much commercial anti-virus software allows users to download updates automatically via the Internet.

If you purchase a new computer equipped with firewall protection, make sure it gets turned on and runs properly before browsing the Web.
