There are a lot of ways that you can protect your computer to avoid viruses or malware to run in your computer's Operating system.

First of, Fire wall on your computer must be turned on. From the name it self it serves as a wall to prohibit unknown sources or intruders to go in to your computer and run unknown resources that can cause damage on to your computer's operating system.

Second, is an Anti-Virus for your computer. If you are more on surfing the internet and downloading files, documents, books, videos, Audio files and any other from the internet.

It is best that your Anti-virus is up to date. Anti-Virus will Guard your computer and can detect viruses from the files on your computer and can eliminate those as well.

Please note of this. There are programs in the internet that can help you clean your computer and detect any files with Malware or Virus but can also harm your computer.

Those programs that can be downloaded from the internet can actually delete programs files and some other files in your computer registry. They may end up having a Blue Screen Of Death or BSOD.

I suggest that you install Anti-Virus from a trusted brand like Kaspersky, McCafee and any others.

In case that you do not have Firewall on your computer nor an Anti-virus that has been installed.

You need to purchase a firewall router. This firewall routers has a built in firewall that can filter the incoming data when you surf the internet and block unknown resources to get in to your computer and avoid having them to your computer to run.

One thing to note as well is if you encounter pop up or prompts upon visiting to a website. Do not automatically run those files as it may contain viruses that can invade your computer and damage.

• You can also use software that will remove autorun script like USB Antivirus/ Autorun remover.
