How to keep your pc virus free

By on

Most computer users feel that installing an anti-virus tool is enough to keep their computer virus-free. However, installing an antivirus tool alone is not enough to keep a pc protected; you need to do a lot more than that.

Here we look at the full range of actions you need to take to prevent malicious programs from gaining entry into your computer.

Install an advanced antivirus tool

The first thing obviously is to install a reliable and advanced antivirus tool. When purchasing a protective software application, ensure that it offers real-time protection against malware, does not consume too many resources, and is compatible with the operating system you use.

Schedule automatic scans

Scanning your computer for virus and other threats every once in a while is not enough. Instead configure the software to scan your computer daily.

Update your antivirus software regularly

An antivirus tool can identify and take action against only those threats that are registered in its’ library. As new virus definitions are released periodically, it is essential that you regularly update your protective software to allow it to protect your computer from the latest threats.

Do not download files from dubious websites

Some online file libraries are safe, but many are not. Therefore, it is recommended that you check the authenticity of a website before downloading files from it. Here’s an example:

Let us assume you need a device driver. There are many websites that offer drivers for free, but all of them are not safe. It is best that you download a driver from a genuine website such as drivers.com. It is a trusted site with a huge library of different device drivers.

Do not use peer to peer file sharing websites

Such websites usually promote adware or spyware. That is why it is best that you avoid them. If you absolutely need to download stuff from such a website, at the least, scan the downloaded file or application before opening it.

Scan any external device before using it

Whenever you attach an external device such as a portable hard disk to your computer, you should scan its contents first.

Scan email attachments before opening it

Before you open an email attachment scan it using your antivirus tool. And lastly, do not open any email attachments that you receive from unsolicited sources.
