Here's my opinion:

  • Run a good virus checker.
  • Don't click on any links or load enclosures in emails. I know this is hard to do, but the primary place viruses get in your machine are from deceptive links or enclosures in emails. With experience you can learn to recognize these deceptive links but there's almost no way to teach you how to avoid them all. As for enclosures, if someone says they're sending you something and an attachment arrives from them soon after, or you check with them and they say they just sent you an attachment it's probably safe.
  • Install as few programs as you can. Don't install programs willy nilly. Obviously you need to install programs to make your computer useful, but the more programs you install the more conflicts they can create making your computer stop working properly or become cranky. Occasionally programs you download from the internet will containg viruses, often they contain Adware which creates problems running your computer. So, only download software from trusted websites and decide whether you think each program you install is really necessary.
