Computer Viruses can be prevented by:

  • Having common sense; do not go to a website you know will be harmful to your computer.
  • Downloading a trusted antivirus, such as Microsoft Security Essentials. It is also important to keep the antivirus database up to date so that the antivirus can now detect new and current viruses.

It's not that hard, if all else fails then download Malwarebytes and boot your computer into Safe Mode. Then, scan the computer. Trust me, I have Computer Literacy classes in Middle School.
