Precautionary Methods
Installing Antivirus prevents unexpected viruses or worms coming in your computer by blocking
them and also removing the pre-installed viruses. But however some of the viruses once installed
can’t be removed so it’s recommended that the user install antivirus promptly. Anti-spyware
software is a type of program designed to prevent and detect unwanted spyware program
installations and remove them. Firewall is a network security system that controls incoming and
outgoing traffic from a private network. Setting up passwords is also really important because it will
prevent someone from entering your computer, as it would only give access to those who have the
password. Backing up data is very important as after all those precautions some viruses might still
be able to get hold of your computer and infect your files. Taking permission and downloading
anything form the Internet should be done carefully as most of the viruses come from the Internet.
So scanning your downloading files before downloading will prevent lots of viruses from your
computer. The government controls IT policies and procedures. Policies dictate the rules,
