[gwolf666]

Protecting your computer against malware and viruses is essential in the digital age, where new threats emerge every day. A good practice is to keep your operating system and all programs updated, as updates often include security patches. Additionally, installing a reliable antivirus and keeping it active is essential for detecting threats early. Avoiding clicking on unknown links or downloading files from unverified sites also reduces the risk of infection. Another effective measure is using strong, different passwords for each account, combining letters, numbers, and symbols. Regularly backing up important files ensures that no data is lost in the event of an attack. Maintaining safe browsing habits and educating yourself about potential threats is just as important as having good security tools. Prevention will always be more effective than trying to repair the damage later.
