Here are some tips that will make your PC more secure.

1. Never turn off the presence protection feature of your antivirus software, even if it degrades performance. Upgrade if necessary.

2. Keep the virus definitions up-to-date. Do not ignore the "You want to update now" message, but often pop up, using the antivirus automatic update feature.

Even if you are regularly updated and you do not see any suspicious activity on your computer, do an in-depth scan at least once a month.

4. Always create an emergency boot disk and save it in a safe place.
