Always act with caution

  Common sense will always be one of your most valuable weapons in the fight against viruses: always treat all data entering your computer with caution.



  Do's and Don'ts?

 
  • If you receive unsolicited files from an unknown source, through chats or newsgroups for example, don't open them. Reject these messages, no matter how enticing they might seem, they could contain a virus.

  • Do scan all new e-mail messages received before opening them, even if you know the sender.

  • Don't download from unsafe or dubious Internet websites and when you do download from the Internet, make sure the site is backed by a respected organization, publisher or antivirus developer.

  • Do be on the lookout for suspicious activity in your computer (increase in file size, unusual Windows messages, mail from unknown senders, or in foreign languages etc.).


Don't be caught unaware, keep up-to-date on the latest developments by subscribing to security news bulletins.
