How do you prevent viruses?

Prevention of virus attacks requires a conscious effort in the area of "safe-computing". Safe computing means

1) be careful about the data and programs you put into your system.

2) don't ever operate bootleg (illegal copies) of software on your system

3) you don't leave disks lying in the open where someone may place a virus on it without your knowledge

4) use a virus attack prevention program, such as McAfee's VSHIELD or Symantec Norton Anti-Virus
