Here are a few tips to avoid viruses. While this will not be 100% effective, it should help you to avoid most.
  • Do not open files attached to an email from unknown sources
  • Avoid opening attachments from any email even from friends unless you are expecting it
  • Delete chain emails and do not respond to them
  • Do not download any file from people you do not know
  • Make sure to update your anti-virus as often as possible
  • Make sure when downloading files off the internet it is from a trusted source
  • Back up your file to an external drive. That way if they get destroyed you can replace them
  • If you have a feeling something might be a virus, there is a good chance you are right
  • If downloading something, make sure that if it ends in .exe that it is in fact what you want
  • If your screen locks up and claims you have a virus, do not call that number. Call a local tech
