Here are some good ways to protect yourself agains virus’ and suspecious emails:

1. Do not install more than one anti-virus software.  More than one antivirus will slow down your system.

2. Do not open any email attachements that you don’t recognize.  Just delete them as suspecious emails will more than likely be virus’.

3. Do not download anything that is free which pops up on your screen.  It is a very good possibility that these downloads  are a form of spyware.

4. Do not trust any emails that look like they are coming from your local banks.  Banks do not send generalized emails to their clients.

5. Avoid pop up ads that try to help or resolve an error or virus that it claims it found.  It is more than likely a hoax and it will install more spyware or virus’ onto your system.
