Smart Ways to Avoid Computer Virus Threats Online

Computer viruses are becoming increasingly threatening to doing business online. In a flash, an internet entrepreneur can loose valuable data files to virus when his computer system is infected with it.

First, what is a virus? A virus is a program written by undesirable and faceless elements with the sole purpose of undermining or interrupting the smooth workings of any computer system. Sometimes too, a virus could be generated from a poorly written computer programs.

Either way, viruses copy themselves into legitimate files in your systems. These files are called hosts to the virus. From there the viruses will gradually eat into more and more files on the disk.

Some viruses infect application programs, others infect data files; while others destroy operating system. However, these are the smart ways to avoid computer virus threats online and mitigate the severity of the harm caused by viruses.

1. Don’t download music or files online whose source you do not know nor trust.
2. White list e-mail contacts you trust and immediately delete files sent to your e-mail box you do not know.
3. Do not download attachments on your mail box without first scanning for virus with antivirus software. Or better yet, don’t open attachment you do not know.
4. Regularly back up your data.
5. Write protect drives you are using for back up purposes.
6. Do not share back up drives haphazardly.
7. Scan every back up drive from third parties before usage if you must share drives.
8. Use antivirus programs that are known as “terminate-and-stay resident” programs. These are programs that are on guard every time you are working on your computer systems. Though it may slow down your work, it is better to be late than never!
