Antivirus

 

There are (on average) 15 new viruses per day worldwide

If you don’t access the internet (in which case you won’t be reading this anyway!) or use email

OR

Share files or borrow software from friends

AND

Only install software from original (not copied) packages

The chances are you don’t need an antivirus program for your computer

 

Some people take the attitude that if they happen to get a virus, they’ll just reload their software again

In most cases that would be a solution (although time consuming) but you should be aware that

some  viruses write to the BIOS of your motherboard and can render the hardware useless
