Make sure you keep your antivirus up to date. Most programs will auto-update, or notify you when updates are available.
- Anti-Malware/Anti Spyware: Anti-Malware is a bit like an anti-virus program, but it will find any spyware on your computer. If your computer is slowing down for no reason and clearing your cookies and cache does not help, then run a full scan with your anti malware program. It's a good idea to run a quick scan regularly too. (Some anti-virus programs come with anti-malware as part of the package) Two free malware removers are Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, and Spybot Search&Destroy.
- A Better Browser: You may enjoy using Internet Explorer for your personal browsing, but we suggest you download a current version of Firefox and use it. Firefox will block more threats than IE will, and it also has less viruses. Google Chrome is good too, and quite fast. Clear your cookies and cache regularly. This will help to keep your computer running faster, and reduce the threat of infection or hacking. Keep your browser updated to the latest version.
