It is essential to safeguard your PC from common security problems.

First of all install a strong antivirus in your PC. Make sure your PC supports it.
Thereafter, make sure to update it regularly.
There are some viruses which have the capability to disable your anti-viruses. For those you can log in in the safe mode and run the antivirus.

If you still face the problem, you can take the help of online computer support.

First of all install a strong antivirus in your PC. Make sure your PC supports it.

I'd suggest making sure you get the right software for your PC before trying to install it. Check the requirments on the website before downloading any softare. Ask questions at the store if you are buying the software in a box.


Thereafter, make sure to update it regularly.

By this, I think you mean set your AV software to check for the latest Antivirus definitions every day.


There are some viruses which have the capability to disable your anti-viruses.

This is an easy one - never open any attachements you are not expecting to receive. Even then, scan them before opening.

Oh yes - stay out of bad web neighbourhoods. I have heard stories of some sites have bad things downloaded to your PC as soon as their site page is rendered in your browser.

I am also of the opinion that computer security is very important and due to this I have installed Kaspersky because I think this is the best anti virus program.

Just saying I like this program without saying why, isn't contributing very much to this thread. Why do you think Kaspersky is the best? Have you tried using othe AV progs?
