Well, no. The truth of the matter is, just a couple of small precautions need to be taken during day to day use of our laptops or desktops to keep us safe from harm.

Here are our top 3 tips for keeping free of those pesky Viruses:

1. Don’t have an email account

Quite simply the most effective way to keep your computer virus free is to not have an email account. By not having an email account you’ll ensure you won’t receive any email that might contain any viruses. You’ll also free up 2-3 hours of your waking day by not having to continually move emails with subject lines like, “RE: I will cheat on my teenage lesbian daughter with you” to the junk box.

2. Don’t have an email account

Yeah, we know that was our number 1 tip as well but we thought it was worth repeating. Most people will have you believe that it’s not really possible to survive these days without an email account but it is. Signup to our email newsletter to find out how.

3. Actively encourage small doses of computer viruses

Vaccination as a prevention to computer viruses is a very effective way to maintain a healthy PC. Much like a Flu vaccination where a small dose of the flu virus is administered into the body to build immunity against contracting the full blown flu virus, deliberately infecting your PC with a small computer virus can prevent against contracting more powerful computer viruses. The quickest way to immunise is to search Google for any phrase with the words, “Russian”, “warez” and “free” in it, visit the site, download any of the wonderfully dirty free software and install. Hey presto your computer is now infected with some form of computer virus and will immediately begin to build up an immunity against other computer viruses.
