Never, ever turn off the resident protection of your antivirus even if it decreases performance. Upgrade if necessary.<br /> <br /> 2. Keep your virus definitions up-to-date. Use the automatic update feature of your anti-virus and try not to ignore the "Do you want to update now" message however often it might pop up.<br /> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br /> 3. Even if you update regularly and you have not seen any suspicious activity on your PC, do a deep scan at least once a month.<br /> <br /> 4. Always create an emergency boot disk and keep it in a safe place.<br /> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /> 5. Run a deep scan in safe mode at least once every two months to kill viruses that would otherwise remain hidden.<br /> <br /> Firewalls<br /> <br /> 1. If you are unsure about the alert displayed by your firewall, try searching it on the internet.<br /> <br /> 2. A firewall is a powerful tool that requires an understanding of how the program works and exactly what it is doing and whether it is <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">secure</span> or not. Reading the help files is extremely important in successful configuration of your firewall.<br /> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /> 3. If you are running a third party firewall,be sure to turn off the Windows Firewall.<br /> <br /> 4. You can temporarily disable a firewall by right clicking the icon in the tray. This is handy when you know a site is one you can trust but your firewall is blocking it. But remember to re-enable it as soon as possible.<br /> <br /> 5. Read firewall notices carefully when they pop up so that you don't let a bad thing in or prevent good traffic.<br /> <br /> <br /> Anti-Spyware<br /> <br /> 1. You should regularly check for updates. Enable the automatic update feature.<br /> <br /> 2. Remember to do a scan every now and then, or schedule scans if your program allows it. If you don't want to sit that long for scans to complete, use a single folder for all your downloads, then scan only that folder, <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Windows </span>installation folder and the Registry. Alternately, you can do a quick scan if your program allows it.<br /> <br /> <br /> Anti-Spam<br /> <br /> 1. Be patient with anti-spam software, it will get better over time.<br /> <br /> 2. Even if it looks that your anti-spam software is working great, periodically check the 'Spam' folder for good mail. None of the anti-spam software is perfect right now.<br /> <br /> 3. Don't give your anti-spam software too much rules, because it will not learn anything then. It is better if it learns on its own.<o:p></o:p></div>
