A Good Three Step Approach To A Secure PC
To prevent infection of your PC, it is recommend that you take the following actions:
1. Install the Critical Updates released by Microsoft to repair vulnerabilities. These updates can be found at:

2. ALWAYS up-to-date your virus definitions. Most antivirus programs update atomatically. If you don't have an antivirus program, check below/
3. Two or more AntiSpyware programs are a must. Look below for some of the better ones.
A good three layer security system
Using the following software can give a fairly reliable security system for the home computer.
First, an anitvirus program. There are 3 free programs that are good, but you can only run one. AVAST, anti-virus.
Microsoft Security Essentials is both an antivirus and antispyware program.
For antispyware, I use these two.
1. Spybot Search & Destroy is very good,
2. SUPERAntiSpyware
