SpareWare Blocker Security - 8 Steps To Prevention

1. Protective Software
There is a wide variety of protective software available, such as adware removers, antivirus tools, keypatrol agents, spyware blockers and so on. These are effective only if put to good use.

2. Computer Responsibility
Your computer is your responsibility, you should make yourself a list of things to verify before you surf the Internet. Once connected, it is too late to realize that your system is not up to the challenge. If your system is not checked, you are vulnerable to the attacks, you could pay a severe price.

3. Purchase Good Tool
You need to purchase good tools for the job. It is acceptable to try free tools to evaluate their quality but once you have found a good tool, purchase it and put it to work. One of the biggest problems for the computer owners is the fact that they simply refuses to take the time to read about their new tool. They would like to buy it, install it and never think about it again. You need to take the time to educate yourself on the functioning of any tool you buy.

4. New Viruses And Trojans
The number of new viruses and Trojans is now increasing every day by a few hundred. Our virus labs receives hundreds of new samples a day. The large majority are quiet and anonymous like termites, often doing much damage before they are detected. Your computer is your responsibility. If your system is not checked, you are vulnerable to the attacks.

5. Qualified Programmers


Generally software is well written by qualified programmers. Professionally written software will include all the instructions that you need to obtain the best performance of the tool. Remember you are putting all your information at risk when you connect to the Internet.

6. Software Purchasing
Once you are confident that the software you are purchasing is of the highest quality, then take your time and read all the documentation provided. Once you have done this, and only then, install the software. Make sure to add the tool to your list of daily maintenance.

7.Antivirus Updates
Check your antivirus for updates. Regularly run your antivirus. If at any time your antivirus locates a virus, you need to update your antivirus, disconnect from the Internet and do a full scan of your computer with the updated antivirus. Always make sure your antivirus is actively protecting your computer. Clean your computer cache and your temporary files.

8. Update your adware remover.
Run your adware remover. You truly need all the functions of the software, not just a portion of the functions, (as in freeware). and is usually the case with Trial Version software. Update your firewall and check the settings. Some clever hackers can change the settings of your computer, therefore putting you at risk.

We cannot totally protect ourselves against the perils of the Internet but we can at least make sure that we do all that we can. Take the proper precautions and you too can have a safe journey on the Internet.
