AntiVirus Protection and Programs Preventing the spread of viruses is fairly simple. When you're surfing the Internet, download programs only from reputable shareware sites. Beware of email attachments as they may be carrying a virus "payload". Email text messages do not carry viruses. However, each and every attachment to an email message should always be scanned by virus detection software before execution or opening of the attachment.

Remember that you can get a virus only from running an infected program and not from just having the program on your computer. If you download a file that you're not sure about, whether it is a program or file such as an MS Word document, you can use anti-virus software to check the program or file before you use it. The two most common anti-virus programs used today are McAfee and Norton. These are regarded as being at the top of the list with regard to protecting your computer and email from viruses.

Important note: For your anti-virus software to be effective, you need to update it regularly. As new viruses appear, each of these companies updates its virus library (dat file) and software and you have to install the update on your computer to be protected against the new viruses. In short, the list of viruses is always expanding, so be sure to keep your anti-virus software current. Below is the latest threats and virus on the internet.
