How to keep your computer virus-free

Nowadays there's a lot of concern regarding computer and internet safety. Unfortunately, we live in a world made up of information and, if you're not connected to the internet, you're almost out of the world.

That's exactly what makes you vulnerable to so many things.

In the past, you had to worry about not getting any diseases when you traveled around the world, and even in your hometown. As science and technology advanced, we got rid of all of those worries - even the need to physically travel, thanks to the internet - only to have them replaced with the risk of getting your computer infected by a deadly virus. Isn't that paradoxical? The more we advance, the more we go back to the start.

Of course, there are a number of things that guarantee keeping your computer and your data safe. Never connect to a network. Keep your equipment physically secure in a bulletproof room, wrapped in lead. Take out the hard disk and put it in a safety box. Apply epoxic resin to the USB ports and extract the DVD drive. Keep the keyboard stored in a drawer. Protect the room with dragons.


Other than that, I don't know what will keep you safe.

Do you?
