Does you computer been attacked by a virus?

My computer often was attacked by the virus, I think the virus easily to come our computer though we install the anti-virus software. So we need to be more careful for it, we don't should download any attachment from other website, and don't open the unknow website, which will let protect our computer.

I have used 3 ways to protect my computer from malicious attacks: Avast+windows firewall+360 security guard (the Chinese firewall sofeware). this combined method is very effective to stop virus attack, my computer haven't been attacked for many years. and another points you should care is DO NOT open some unknown websites or adult websites...

the thing is even if you have the most sophisticated anti virus but then again you allow the virus from accessing your computer system then it won't still work and you are still going to be infected. nowadays most viruses are packaged in a way that they disguised as a legitimate software or system patch like what mostly happen to windows users wherein viruses came from system patch updates.so to avoid this just make sure you download and install programs from a legitimate sources, if your aren't sure about a program then don't install it. sometimes anti virus gets mistakes too. i don't think there is really a best way to avoid or best anti virus to use when it comes to this since everyday more and more virus are being created with higher probability of undetection. so what i can recommend to you is use a virtual machine program like sandbox or vmwares, it will emulate your system it's like having an operating system inside your operating system. you can do things inside virtual machines like you normally do. on this way you can try out programs first without affecting your real system if something bad happens. this is what i do so i can avoid real pain due to virus attacks.

well i had faced the similar problem when i was new to use the computer. I doesn't know that the updates are available and often used to download from adult sites. During downloads i doesn't scan for any viruses and it harms my computer. My friends suggested me to use some anti-virus program and then i was installing updates regularly. Even though we update some virus affects operating system too. I think virus programs are efficient than anti-virus. We doesn't have any solution,it seems.

My PC was never attacked my virus for the last one year. Thanks to a powerful anti-virus I use, which is kaspersky.
Happy Lotting

Three things to consider to have a well-protected computer:

1.) Install an anti-virus with its latest updates
2.) Install an anti-spyware with its latest updates
3.) Setup a Firewall software, aside from using windows firewall.

Yup, I have a vast experiences regarding this virus attack. I have several PCs on our internet shop and it cannot be prevented however measure I implement because some of our customers are really ignorant when it comes to scanning their USB drive. They always ignore the prompt whenever the installed anti-virus software on our computer asked them to block or delete the files infected from their flash drive. The worst part is that when a computer is really hit by a new virus and then my antivirus is not yet updated. It will resort me to reformatting and reinstalling Windows which is I really hate.

There are 4 things that should do to prevent virus attacks on your computer:
1. Make sure it is updated. Always update it whenever you turn on your computer. This will download new antivirus files to protect your PC from new viruses.
2. Scan it every time you turn on and turn off the PC.
3. Scan any removable drives that is being inserted on your computer.
4. Scan all downloaded files to make sure that it is free from viruses.

That's all I can think from now. Have a virus free day and happy myLotting!

I have the similar situation with you.

From where I stand, installing the best available anti-virus software with latest updates and features can really help us prevent the virus destroying our computers, but it is difficult to find the best security software, isn't it? Perhaps a good habit of protect our computer may be helpful. For example, never open the websites with spyware or phishing websites.

The virus attacks are endless but we can try our best to decrease their side effect.

I feel really pity on you guys talking so seriously about anti virus softwares frequently. Please, why are you all so stupid? There's only one and only one effective solution for fighting virus. Install Ubuntu in windows. Ubuntu is a linux based OS which can be installed inside windows like any other software. You can log into ubuntu during booting up from the OS choice menu. No virus will get into your system if you use ubuntu to plug in external storage media like pen drive, mobile phone, etc. and even browsing the net. If you find any problem with ubuntu, then you can remove it from windows control panel quickly and reinstall it. It's easy and is the only effective method. Trust me, there has been no virus in my system ever since i started using this trick.

Just remove those dirty anti-viruses...you will be virus free
