Protect Your Computer From Viruses

Your computer can become infected with a computer virus when you download programs from the Internet, launch e-mail attachments or share diskettes. Protect yourself by following safe computing practices as follows:

  1. Install and use Virus Protection Software. There are several Anti-Virus software products available. It is highly recommended that you purchase one of these anti-virus products and that you update the virus definition database on a regular basis (at least every few months). The updates will insure that you are protected from the latest viruses.
  2. Don’t open e-mail attachments from unknown sources. If you receive unsolicited e-mail with an attachment, it is best to delete the message, otherwise you may inadvertently introduce a virus into your computer.
  3. Don’t run programs from unknown or unreliable sources.
  4. Be aware of Internet and personal computer security issues.
