In today's digital world, protecting your computer from viruses has become critical. Computer poisoning may lead to serious consequences such as data loss, privacy leakage and system crash. Therefore, it is crucial to know and take effective preventive measures.
When there are mild viruses in the computer, humans cannot find any problems temporarily. In severe cases, the system may crash. Some computers slow down the response time. The computer is infected with rogue software, and some will automatically pop up a window, automatically jump to other websites, and tamper with the computer. browser home page, etc. Today I will share with you several ways to prevent computer poisoning!
Method/step:
1. Install a firewall. Hardware firewalls are better than pure software firewalls. A hardware firewall embeds a "software firewall" in the hardware, adds a "firewall program" in the chip, and performs these functions by the hardware, thereby reducing the CPU burden of the computer or server.
2. Install antivirus software. 360 security guards, computer housekeeper, Tinder, etc. are all available. Wear whatever you like, just one is better than nothing. Of course, if your computer is not connected to the Internet, U disk or other LAN computers, you do not need to install anti-virus software. Common antivirus software can solve most problems in daily computer use, such as first aid for network disconnection, Trojan horse detection and killing, etc.
3. Do not browse abnormal websites. When we usually use search engines, we will inevitably encounter various websites after completing the search. If the advertising website is serious, it may occupy half or even more than half of the content on the homepage. Normal advertising sites generally do not pose a threat to your computer. If you browse websites with colors, the possibility of computer poisoning, rogue software, and rogue plug-ins is very high.
4. Download and install the software carefully. Try to download the software from the official website, and check and kill viruses first after downloading. Some websites will have multiple download buttons, but actually only one download button is correct. Be sure to distinguish clearly. During software installation, be aware of any bundled software. If it is not needed, the checkmark in the prevention and control must be removed. But sometimes we obviously canceled it, but still bundled and installed another software. No way, some software is relatively rogue, to be precise, it is a bundled installation software set up by some companies and individuals for certain interests.
5. Antivirus regularly. After a period of time, we thought that there was no virus, but after checking and killing, we found that there were always some hijacked shortcuts, malicious malware, plug-ins, Trojan viruses, etc. Nowadays, there are many kinds of viruses and rogue software, and it is hard to prevent them. We can only regularly check, kill and clean up.
By following these effective methods, you can greatly reduce the risk of computer infection and keep your personal and work data safe. Remember, prevention is better than cure, and investing some time in securing your computer will lead to a long-term safe and smooth computing experience. Keeping software updated, clicking links carefully, using strong passwords, installing trusted security software, and backing up data regularly are simple but important steps that will become a solid line of defense for your computer's security.
