 VIRUS PROTECTION INSTALLATION
 At least once, all of us are hit with a computer virus. We recommend installing an anti-virus program on your computer. It is your choice which you install. See the Related Links for two programs that we recommend you review.

Remember, for the anti-virus program to be effective you must update it once every week. You can avoid most viruses by not accepting attachments from people you do not know. Do not click on URL links in an unsolicited email. Do not download files from a server you are not sure about. Hackers will create a program which looks like a nice screensaver or a little game, but are really viruses intended on bringing your computer down.

Don't be afraid to enjoy the internet, just be careful. For more information on protecting yourself against viruses, see the attached virus protection article.
