not emphasize this enough. Protecting your system is
your responsibility,
- Keep Windows patched using
Windows Update
- Use an antivirus program with updated signatures (daily!)
- Use a spyware scanner and keep it up to date
- Patch your applications (MS Office, Adobe Reader,
etc.)
- Use caution when reading e-mail attachments
- Read before you click dialogs and license agreements
