Viruses
• Install an
Anti-Virus
program and keep the
definitions
file
(the file which tells your program which
viruses to look for) up to date. New computer viruses are discovered daily, and some of them may seri-
ously harm your computer and cause you to lose data.
Anti-Virus
programs are commercially avail-
able and the
definitions
file updates
are usually downloadable directly from the internet.
• Be careful when opening e-mail from sources you don’t know.
Viruses
are often triggered from
within
e-mail attachments
so take care when opening any attached file. You can configure most
Anti-Virus
programs to check all
e-mail attachments
.
Note
: You should also beware of files from
people you know as the virus may have infected an
address book
and been automatically forwarded
without the person’s knowledge.
• Keep a “
Bootable CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/USB storage device
” (this CD/DVD/USB device provides
basic information which allows you to startup your computer) handy. You may refer to your OS’s doc-
umentation for instructions on how to make one, and many
Anti-Virus
programs will also provide
such a disk (or at least instructions on how to make one).
