Excellence Anti-spyware, 7 ways to a secure and virus free PC

The whole arena of spyware intrusion is extremely fluided with
the spyware writers working hard trying to outsmart everyone.

The software protection writers working to keep up with the
new worms and viruses poping up almost every day.

1. Organizations
Fortunately, there are organizations who have the facilities
to review the work of the Anti-spyware developers and make the
results available for all of us who use the Internet. These
simple tips will help you stay virus and spyware free.

2. Protect yourself
The worst ones the largiest majority are quiet and anonymous
like termites, often doing lots of damage before they are
detected. Their effects run the spectrum from mostly benign to
potentially fatal to their unwilling and unwitting hosts. Also
as in human viruses, there are two different approaches to
dealing with them: Prevention and Cure.

3. 3 protection components
Good protection on the Internet these days consists of 3
components: anti-virus software, anti-spyware software and a
firewall.

4. Preventing virus infection
Voiding virus infection begins with guarding the portals of
contact. Do not open suspicious e-mails or attachments without
scanning them first. Most anti-virus programs have a
right-click option to scan a selected file for viruses, which
makes scanning easy. Similarly, when you download software,
eBooks or whatever, always save to a file, then scan the file
before opening. If you bring in data or software by floppy
disk, CD or other portable media, the same rule applies; scan
it first!
A good firewall can help somewhat in keeping viruses at bay,
but there are too many ways to hide them in regular data or
software transfers for a firewall to catch them all.

5. A really bad virus
If you get hit by a really bad virus, you could lose most of
your files before you know that there is a problem! The first
step to enable cures is to prepare well in advance. Backing up
your files for easy recovery. Set up your computer with a
small hard drive for your C: drive and a much larger hard
drive for all your data. Use your C: drive for programs only.
Keep copies of your software purchase receipts, registration
and activation codes and setup info in a file on your data
drive. You can always download them again, if you can give the
seller your purchase info to show that you already bought.

6. program section
Almost all virus infections will be in the program section of
the C: drive, so scan it daily. This won't take much time
since you have arranged for it to be relatively small. Then
scan your (larger)data drive once or twice a month.

7. Good anti-virus programs
Finally, you will need good anti-virus programs to go after
the viruses and either quarantine or (preferably) destroy
them. There are many anti-virus solutions being touted and
hyped out there. Some are good, most are not. Here is how to
find the good ones:

Look for programs that offer both active and passive
protection. Active protection means that part of the program
remains memory-resident, actively watching for potential
incoming viruses. The most important thing to keep in mind is
that you need to keep your anti-virus software up to date.
