The most common ways to acquire a virus is by not having anti-virus software and opening attachments in email from untrusted senders, downloading from untrusted sites, and you can even pick up a virus from going to websites and clicking links. Avoid downloading music that you cannot preview, same with videos. Normally a virus will attack your system more violently if you downloaded a file and install or open it.
