PROTECT YOUR PC

Today, more than ever, it is critical to protect your PC.  Follow these 3 simple steps to better protect your PC. 

First, use an up-to-date Security Suite to protect your PC from all the malicious viruses, spyware, worms and other threats that are so prevalent today. 

Second, make sure you have an Internet Firewall enabled (this normally comes with your Security Suite), this helps protect your PC against hackers and many computer viruses and worms. Windows XP and later versions of Windows have a built-in Firewall if you do not have a Security Suite with a built-in Firewall. If you are running Windows XP or later, consider downloading Microsoft’s security suite: Microsoft Security Essentials – it’s FREE.  You can also purchase a Security Suite from a reputable manufacturer such as Trend Micro , McAfee or Symantec (Norton). Important: Be sure to only run one security suite as running multiple suites will cause system conflicts.

Third, make sure you have the latest security software updates for your operating system, web browser, and other web-based software. 

Visit Protect Your PC for more information.  If you suspect a virus, spyware or other threat on your PC, even if you are running a Security Suite program, you can run a free virus scan from Trend Micro.  This will identify and fix any threats it finds.  Trend Micro has other free security tools you can use.
