The fight against computer viruses
May 20th, 2008 by MuZumbu
Everyone that has a computer has had a computer virus in his life time ? Am I wrong ? Than this means you are cautious when you surf then net.
Jason from My Inspiration Sharing Land has published a few thoughts about the subject and I would like to complete some of his info’s.
Don’t rely solely on an antivirus and anti-spyware program. Each of these programs have flaws especially since they are free. You must take the next step and install a firewall. Microsoft’s Firewall is good but not good enough. Just search around Google for “Free firewall”. You might find one called ZoneAlarm. I personally used an older version but I has been rumored that their newest free version transmits over the internet some statistics.
Another thing you might consider is using Firefox or Opera instead of Internet Explorer. Why ? These products are more secure and you can install add-ons that extend the functionality. For example I always use Firefox in combination with AdBlock Plus and an updated list o known spamming sites.
