One of the most important ways to protect your system is to conduct regular scans for viruses and malware and adware so that your PC is kept clean of malicious programs and elements. Regular scanning for malware and adware is especially important, as these programs run in the background and are less easy to detect or feel in your system. You should also update your virus signature regularly so that you have the latest virus definitions.
Another tips is to scan every incoming flash or portable drive that you connect to your system. Be sure to NOT open ANYTHING first – cancel the autorun and scan the drive first. Flash drives and portable hard disks are the no. 1 carriers of viruses aside from irresponsible downloading and P2P programs.
