Here's a list of five things you should do, if you have any love for your computer:
1. BUY an antivirus program. Most of the free ones are third-rate or reduced-feature programs, and you might need a hard copy of the program if something happens to your computer.
2. DO WHAT THE ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM SAYS (unless you have a GOOD techie saying otherwise). Programmers code the living heck out of these programs, and they do it with years of experience and training backing the warning messages that pop up from (insert your antivirus program here)
3. NEVER give out your passwords, not even if someone on the 'Net asks for it. Every business that does business online stores your password and login ID's (upon you consenting for it) at their computers, so they already have it. Anyone asking for it doesn't work for said businesses.
4. Windows (generally) knows what it is doing. When a warning message pops up, don't just click "ignore" or "clear" or "OK" unless you KNOW (or have been made aware) of what those clicks will do. Trust Windows.
5. Be nice to your administrator/IT guy. He knows how to invade your computer without a single trace.
Haha I like what you said on 5. That's so true!
