Protecting Yourself Against Viruses & Data Loss
It is vital to ensure your computer is protected from viruses and trojans.
As well as installing Anti-Virus Software (AVS) you can help protect your computer and data by following a few simple rules:
- Back up your data regularly
- Block EXE, COM, PIF, SCR, VBS, SHS, CHM and BAT files - these are common virus carriers
- Block files using more than one file extension i.e. .txt.vbs
- Don't download files from illegal/filesharing sites
- Never open email attatchments unless you are expecting them
