Protect Your Computer: Avoid Computer Holes/Vulnerabilities

Install only trusted software and delete unknown emails. 

If you have any doubt about a piece of software's function, do not install it. If you receive e-mails from random people's names, resist your curiosity and do not open it, just delete it.
Under no conditions download or open attachments from anyone that you do not know and even then be cautious. 

Banks and most companies that create online personal accounts will not send you attachments. 


If they do, it is probably best to go to the company site and request the download or at least see if it is legitimate. Avoid adult web sites, a hacker's paradise.
Whether in your e-mail or online, do not click on ads. 

If the ad is of interest, find the site. Be careful with what you physically put into your computer. This is especially true for shared R/W CDs, USB hard disks, or flash drives. 


This is an easy path for a virus to follow from computer to computer.
