How can I prevent my PC from becoming a zombie?



The following best practices can help protect your computer from being taken over as a zombie:


�� Install and enable proven anti-virus and personal firewall software on your computer.
��
Update your anti-virus software frequently with the latest virus signatures.
��
Keep your anti-virus software up-to-date, because outdated anti-virus software can be ineffective when it comes to newly discovered viruses.
��
Apply the latest security updates and patches to any software you use.
��
Disconnect your computer from the Internet when not in use. Computers connected to the Internet all the time are at constant risk of infection, and they have a greater likelihood of being hacked.
