Computer Viruses

Avoiding Computer Viruses

A computer virus is a program. It gets installed on your system without you being aware of it, and can do anything from displaying strange messages to destroying your data and other programs. A virus can enter your system via a floppy diskette or network. Taking the following precautions are normally sufficient to protect against having a virus invade your system.

• Write protect the master copies of your programs and data files.

• Never open data files or run programs of unknown origin.

• Use a commercially available virus checker to check new programs,

and periodically check your system for virus contamination.

Use the latest version of a commercially available virus checker to check your system.

An immediate virus check is recommended in the following cases.

• Check your system each time you start up your computer.

• Check any data file or program you received on a floppy diskette or

other external media, over a network, from a BBS or the Internet, via e-mail, etc. before opening the file or running the program.
