AVOIDING VIRUSES
-
Have 1 good Virus Program (more than one just causes problems)
-
Keep it up to date
-
Remember if you say you “trust this sight” you are shutting off your antivirus!
-
You will NEVER be contacted from Microsoft the IRS or the FBI via phone, this is a scam and you need to hang up and shut down your computer. Never give them money.
GET UPDATES
-
Software updates are required to keep things running because things change and the software has to change with it in order for it to work properly.
