When you’re not a techie, it can be hard to know what files are safe
and what files are potentially dangerous for your system. If you are
experiencing weird computer problems then you may be infected
For a start, make sure that:
- Windows 7 and your programs are up to date
- Your antivirus is also up to date and has real-time protection turned on
- You’re running a virus scan at least once a week
- Windows Firewall is turned on
Another important factor is to just be careful about which links and
files to open. Were they sent from someone you don’t know? Were they
sent from a friend but are written suspiciously? Do they sound too good
to be true? If you’re unsure, rather contact the person to make sure
they did actually send it. Or do a Google search using the text you were
sent. If it’s part of a scam, there are ways to find out.
