  1. Don't download anything suspicious
  2. Don't click on Ads on websites (You don't know where it may take you)
  3. If you have a Facebook, do not click on any bit.ly, Tinyurl, or those stories like "LOL what are u doing in this video??? :P" (As it can give you the Koobface virus)
  4. Have Anti-virus software, The free anti-virus software always seems to be the best e.g AVG AntiVirus Free Edition. Software like McAfee, Norton, and Kaspersky are prone to fail at some point, or take up way too much resources.
