      How to prevent Malware: Created by Miekiemoes


      WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
      See this article (http://www.forbes.com/sites/eliseackerman/2013/01/11/us-department-of-homeland-security-calls-on-computer-users-to-disable-java/
      and this article (http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/us-warns-java-software-security-concerns-escalate-1B7938755

      I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
      In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser (http://www.geekstogo.com/2600/how-to-disable-java-in-your-web-browser/) and How to unplug Java from the browser (http://krebsonsecurity.com/how-to-unplug-java-from-the-browser/))


      Avoid P2P

      P2P may be a great way to get lots of stuffs, but it is a great way to get infected as well. There's no way to tell if the file being shared is infected. Worse still, some worms spread via P2P networks, infecting you as well.

      Please read these short reports on the dangers of peer-2-peer programs and file sharing.
