It’s a good idea to install virus and/or internet protection software. Virus scannning software monitors your computer and online activity and automatically tells you if something is trying to invade your computer. It can stop viruses, worms, and Trojan horses and also helps you scan attachments in e-mails or other files you bring into your computer.
ALWAYS keep your virus protection software updated. You can save yourself time and money by getting the latest updates.
