    Computers are growing in demand with the passage of time. But the problem that has been emerged is that we are failing to control the virus problems of our computer. Somebody hacks our personal computer or somebody else sends us any sort virus but we are unaware of modus operandi to fix the problems of this style. Internet is giving impetus to virus and other issues because they are adding more and more viruses to our computers.
    One can fix these problems by the help of virus scans. You may go ahead by using McAfee or any other standard virus scan. Norton is also a good virus scan if you would like to use it. Well firewalls can also fix the problems. You have to install standard firewalls for this purpose. These firewalls will slow down the speed of your computer but you would get relief from virus and other threats. Be careful in using internet. Don't open those websites which are accountable for viruses. You should not click on any website which you don't know and somebody wants you to click on it. Be assiduous! You should refresh windows monthly at least.

      There are many sources from where a virus can enter into your computer.I am not sure whether you want to protect your computer from a virus by using any software or whether you just want to know the precautions. Anyway let me tell you about this.

      Many powerful viruses enter into a computer through the internet. However you can't say that if you don't use the internet then you will be safe because there are many other sources other than the internet from where a virus could enter into a computer.

      Sometimes these viruses come with CDs or DVDs. These days we use flash disks. Sometimes we put the flash disk in  another computer and as we don't know whether there is a virus in someone elses computer or not, if there is virus then it could enter into your flash disk and when you use this flash disk into your computer it could potentially harm it.

      I want to say that it is very difficult to defend your computer against viruses without using any anti virus software or any other software which can detect viruses or spyware. You must use anti virus software in order to protect your computer from viruses. Some good anti virus and spyware softwares are AVG, MacAfee, spyware doctor, and spykiller.

        While many of us sit on the Internet for hours on end, not many of us know that a lot of harmful viruses are downloaded onto our system through Internet.

        In order to protect your system from viruses make sure you have the following things installed:

        1) Anti-virus software - Make sure your system has a good anti-virus software installed.  Just to name a few there are Norton Anti-virus, McAfee, AVG.  Make sure that your software has not expired, and also make sure that the anti-virus program runs updates every couple of days.  New viruses are discovered every day, and these updates inform your virus software of new viruses and how to identify them.  Another important thing is to make sure that a complete virus scan of your system is run at least once a week.

        2) Firewall - If you frequently use the Internet make sure you have a firewall installed.  There are quite a few free firewalls available on the Internet.  If you have Windows XP it has a built in firewall.  A firewall is software that acts like a filter.  It only allows data that you know is safe to access your computer.  You define what is save to access and can be allowed through the firewall.

        3) Don't download attachments/spam mails from unknown addresses.

        To protect your  computer from virus / threats without having internet for a long time is possible but for at least one weak.
        The method is that you can update your virus definition once in a weak because mostly new definition comes in a weak so your pc will be safe from malicious objects .I will recommend you kespersky antivirus. Its very best and it does not affect the system speed also.Yyou can get it from its site also or can buy from market and if you download from site and this is trial version then if you don't want to buy then you can find its keygen on www.crackdb.org .
        And if you are not satisfied with this then there is one way whenever you put any external device to your pc like flash drive and floppy disk or cd or any other then you should scan it for virus before inserting to your computer and can check on any other pc available in your office or any where else where net is available ,so this is the only way because mostly virus came from two sources any external device or internet, and if you don't want to use the internet and don't want to update you antivirus then also don't insert any external device into your pc.
