How you can protect your computer from a virus?

Answer 1

Shop around for an anti-virus software offering that meets your needs. Keep it up-to-date by running updates on a regular schedule. Set your preferences at a higher-than-normal level, so that you are alerted when attempts are made against your computer.

Scan your computer two or three times per week, and allow scans to run when the software starts the scans.

The only true way to protect a computer from a virus is to never hook it up to the internet.
