It is vital to ensure your computer is protected from viruses and trojans.

As well as installing Anti-Virus Software (AVS) you can help protect your computer and data by following a few simple rules:

  • Back up your data regularly
    * Block EXE, COM, PIF, SCR, VBS, SHS, CHM and BAT files - these are common virus carriers
    * Block files using more than one file extension i.e. .txt.vbs
    * Don\'t download files from illegal/filesharing sites
    * Never open email attachments unless you are expecting them
