Taught by bitter experience can only learn some rules that will help to get around this and many other viruses. By the way, now check that protects your computer from viruses. The best option will be working with the firewall and antivirus software. And even such a combination does not always save. But, at least, the risk of catching a Trojan and other viruses is reduced many times over. Since no one program does not give an unconditional guarantee, I think, to rely on paid anti-virus software is not quite reasonable. The more so because there are so many alternatives. Although, ultimately, a matter decided by the user.
To speculate on which of the anti-virus systems are better than others, it does not make sense. This question is rather - a matter of taste preferences and subjective than objective choice. But among the free programs, perhaps we should mention Avast, Avira and AVG. All these programs are free, coping well with the majority of viruses and not consuming a lot of resources. Of course, for those who need something more, provided and paid packages. Complete protection should be even and reliable firewall. These include the Online Armor, PC Tools and Comodo. To top it off, you can put one more line of defense: Utilities RegCleaner and RemoveIT. And even if there are no apparent problems with the help of RemoveIT occasionally check the system for viruses. In addition, it would be quite good to follow a few simple rules:
- It is important to regularly update anti-virus databases and install the latest system updates.
- Check for viruses files attached to e-mails from an unknown sender to you. Researchers at Kaspersky Labs claim that in this way are distributed 90% of viruses.
- Generally, anti-virus must operate continuously. And point.
Only in this way can count on a good defense. But be that as it may, no one anti-virus program still can not afford to provide absolute protection. This has to be tolerated. Because, if desired, from the anti-virus can be completely abandoned. Without any consequences for themselves and their computer. However, in this case it is necessary to adhere to a number of rules:
- It makes sense to create a new account without administrator privileges, and under it to use the system.
- It is advisable to remember once again that the suspicious resources should get round. These resources are usually sites that offer to make a million without fanfare, to download an infinite number of free erotica or a free key for photoshop. But if you really really need to such sites is better to go in a private browsing mode.
- A small note about all sorts of cracks and free passwords. To once again not to be at risk, it is better to download the program on the official website of its developer. The more so because free software for a variety of needs of a huge amount.
- All the important files stored on your computer, it is convenient and reliable enough to put in a password-protected archive.
- Of course, the password must be reliable. This article to inspire the creation of the world's most secure password.
- Perhaps last but no less important principle, which is to learn, like a mantra. Do not hurry to press "OK" in each dialog box. Before you do this, pay attention on what needs your consent. Then proceed according to circumstances.
I would like to believe that the only memories remain now from a meeting with winlock. In the end, as has been repeatedly proposed, the most reliable way to get rid of viruses - to stop using Windows. But that's another story.
