Install a Firewall program to your computer to prevent unwanted transfer of files across the hackers’ computer and yours

Adult websites are riddled with malicious viruses. Do not go there if you can because it is possible that these viruses can come on to your computer without you knowing

5. Destroy spyware with your anti-spyware program or prevent it with the said Firewall

Spywares are viruses that hackers use to get your sensitive information and use it for their own benefit. Destroy them with your anti-spyware programs before they destroy you

6. Be self-conscious when disclosing your personal information to anyone on the web

7. Follow the news on computer virus outbreaks

Like an old saying goes: it’s always better to prevent yourself from the problem than to cure it when you get one.
