1. Keep your computer up-to-date with the latest updates from Microsoft

2. The leading cause of getting computer viruses usually involves forgetting to keep your anti-virus program updated. Don't let your subscription lapse simply because you don't feel like paying for a yearly subscription, you usually end up paying for it in the end.

3. Don't click yes to windows that ask you to download or install things you don't need. Unless its a message coming from a program you already have installed on your computer that you feel you can trust. If you don't know, ask Scott Larson before clicking yes to anything.

4. Be careful visiting sites you are not familiar with, they could be sites that will inadvertently try to get you to install spy-ware on your computer.

5. Make sure you have some kind of backup solution on your computer. If your computer crashed right now, resulting in a total loss of data, what would you do? Do you have a backup of your email and documents stored somewhere else? Let Scott Larson help you with the details of coming up with a backup solution that will prevent a catastrophic loss of your data.
