1- Ensuring proper Viral Protection:-

Without a proper viral protection environment you are probably the victim of the latest viruses which may take your computer at the edge of the death. These viruses are often very harmful and are able to convert your smart available data in junked one. Without much effort. You should use a better antivirus program to ensure a maximum security against the viruses. Before buying a good antivirus you must check that! A good antivirus must have :-

1. Real Time Scanning for Threats
2. Real Time Web URL’s Scanning
3. Real Time Updates from the server for the new viruses

2- Making Use of Virtual Safe Environment to Access Viral and Infected Files:-

Sometimes we are forced to check some infected executable files. Here comes into play a Virtual Machine which will help you a lot in checking those infected files without infecting your real system and the Windows or OS under the use. I have posted some articles to install any OS under virtual environment. The theme is this that you can install “Virtual Box” or “VM Player” to use virtual Hard Disks and Virtual OS installed on them. So, After installing you can download any doubted file and can run that for inspection on the Virtual Machine. Lets, suppose that’s a keylogger, then a antivirus program will popup to help you out. Or else if you have run it, then go to processes and check any additional logging processes which can be associated to key logging feature on your machine. For processes open Task Manager. On upper Tabs the second tab is for process list. Read this article also:-

3- Make your USB or Removable Media Virus Proof:-

You can always make your USB drive or Removable Media auto immune from the viruses. The most viruses come into play because of the fact that a single USB often gets attached to a large number of the computers because of the portability factor. So, system wide usage makes it full of virus sometimes and plugging that USB into a clean computer makes that affected also. Read this post to make your USB secure:-

• Any small File which is in hidden mode and appears to be in .exe format and .bat ones should also be ignored.
• Don’t forget to check the autorun.ini file which will give you the information that which files should be executed on plugging in the USB
• The music files and Images in most cases are safe from the viruses. Keep them under white list!
• The software setup’s in more cases get infected. So, keep them at risk and don’t execute them under the Windows without scanning with a proper antivirus
