How to protect yourself
- System Updates
Beeing up to date is very important. Please be sure to activate automatic updates in your control panel.
Windows XP | Windows Vista |
Windows 7 | windows 8 - Protection
What you need is one (not more) good virus scanner with backgroud protection. Additionally I recommend a special malwarescanner that you run from time to time.
Personally I am using the avast! Antivirus Free Edition and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. They offer you good protection for free use. But please remember: You get only the full protection if you use the payed versions of your security software. - Up to date Software
Stay up to date with all the programs you use. Some of those really have to have an eye on are: your browser(s) including add-ons and plug-ins, Java, Flash Player, your virus scanner, and basically every software you use often. These link may help you to check:
- Secunia Online Software Inspector - Checks if your software has updates available.
- Filehippo Update Checkere - This tool also scans your computer for outdated software.
- Mozilla: Check your plugins - The webpage will tell you if you have outdated plugins in your Firefox browser.
- Backups
There are chances for an emergency every day. So be prepared. Back up your data on a regular basis. If you burn it to DVDs from time to time, use a cloud-drive or a professional network backup system is your choice. - Brains
It's no joke! You really need one of those things.
It is very important not just to click anywhere it is colored or flashing while you surfing on the web. Do not click an OK button on any popping window without reading what it says. While installing software always choose the custom mode, read what those windows says and uncheck adware that will be installed along the software you want.

i updated the new versions of the programs u said but im not sure whats the old ones that i need to remove.they all look the same.oh and when I rebooted the computer I still got a Microsoft error report upon reboot.I dont use firefox or internet explorer,can I just delete these browsers?
----------------
I´m currently on my way back from a military training and will reply as soon as I´m at home.
Please be patient with me.
Thank you!
jaybird3400
ok no problem
----------------
You can uninstall Mozilla Firefox without problems.
Internet Explorer is part of Windows and cannot be removed.
If the Microsoft error isn´t occuring again, this should be fine.
To ensure all potentially unsafe applications are updated, please re-run SecurityCheck and post up the log.
