Top of the list is obtaining and installing a good anti-virus/anti-spyware software, although the present operating systems have some of these facilities already in them it is always better to have your own, make sure that this software will work in conjunction with the operating system.

Malware is a specific type of virus that usually tracks your personal information while browsing the web including your browsing habits, your username and passwords without your approval. Websites, emails, instant messages or file sharing networks are the different ways through which the spywares are usually being downloaded. They are also installed with some legitimate programs when you accept the End User License Agreement.

Therefore, these spywares are very harmful for your online identity and privacy and to overcome this, you should have a good spyware protection for your computer. You can follow some of the useful tips that can help you to get computer virus protection.

1. Report phishing scams: Phishing is an attempt to collect useful data/information like username, password or secured financial information by appearing as a legitimate entity. Phishing scams can easily get into your inbox in the form of emails or instant messages via social networking sites.

2. You should never use the links in your inbox to get to a particular website.

Have you found that when you’re uptight about something, tired, hungry and stressed, that you tend, ever so slightly, to overreact sometimes? I received a nasty e mail the other day accusing me of spamming this person (who had subscribed / opted in to my ezine, by the way). Obviously, he was having a bad day and had lost perspective on spam. I sent him a note which I thought I’d share with you, just so we can maintain perspective in this busy day and age.

First of all, I receive over 360 spam e mails a day. That’s the price one pays for a strong Internet presence, I guess. I don’t use a spam filter as it has cost me money in the past by blocking important e mails. (Spam filters have no brains, you see; they’re simply robots.) Here’s the thing – it takes me a total of 12 minutes to delete the spam, but I save hours every day using the Internet and e mail. TWELVE MINUTES. Let’s see that in perspective. How long do you wait for your food in a restaurant? How much time do you spend commuting? I don’t spend hours attacking the spammers – I simply hit “Delete” and move on.

Also, there are different types of spam – helpful, uplifting information and valuable offers on the one hand, and sleazy porn and scammers on the other. Either way, it takes two seconds to delete. So, when one looks at the real time usage compared to the benefits, why do people react so violently to what they perceive as spam? Why the threats and why take so much MORE time to write to the “spammer”, instead of taking two seconds to delete the e mail? Is there perhaps something else going on here?
