| Computer viruses can infect your PC through a variety of ways. From seemingly harmless email links to social media to pop-up ads, you never know when there's going to be a nefarious bug lurking behind your next click. However, there are ways to prevent and protect yourself from malicious software. Taking these steps can help you avoid the headache and stress of a nasty virus infection. 6 Ways to Prevent Viruses 1. Don't click on email links or attachments Be suspicious of unsolicited email attachments and be careful when clicking on email links, even if they seem to come from people you know. 2. Be careful with pop-up advertisements The most common type of online crime stems from internet transactions. Avoid clicking on pop-up ads, especially from unknown companies. 3. Make password security a priority Use passphrases instead of passwords, don't write your passphrases down, and try not to reuse them across different accounts. 4. Avoid using public Wi-Fi Unsecured public Wi-Fi can be a security breach waiting to happen. An attacker could intercept your device's network traffic and gain access to your personal information. 5. Perform daily scans with System Mechanic Pro® It's always a good idea to perform daily scans to make sure that viruses have not infected your PC.
