Most of computers running<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pakorbit.com\/?s=microsoft\" target=\"_blank\"> Microsoft Windows<\/a> are victims of virus and malware. Now a days mostly computer viruses are transferred from USB flash drives and other portable media, other sources of virus attacks are malicious websites and email.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pakorbit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/virus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-663\" alt=\"virus\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pakorbit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/virus.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"385\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am also a Windows user and been using\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0Windows from about past 10 year. Today I am going to share that how I protect my self from these scary viruses and malware.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1<\/strong>. Your PC should have an anti-virus and optionally a firewall installed, Anti virus would helps you to protect viruses. There are always been my two favorite anti-viruses that are from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filehippo.com\/download_avast_antivirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avast <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avira.com\/en\/avira-free-antivirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avira Antivirus, <\/a>both are free of cost. The best firewall out there is from <a href=\"personalfirewall.comodo.com\" target=\"_blank\">Comodo<\/a>, and luckily its also free.<\/p>\n<p>For those, who even need more protection can use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/anti-virus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaspersky Anti-Virus<\/a> Paid Edition. But make sure that your Antivirus and Firewall is always up to date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Some virus from USB which are automatically run as we connect it and antivirus are unable to stop it most of the times can be protected from a software known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zbshareware.com\/download.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USB Disk Security<\/a>. USB Disk Security helps protect your PC from viruses which runs automatically from USB as we connect it to PC. In short, this software actually disables <strong><em>auto run<\/em><\/strong> feature from USB or Mass Storage medium. Along with disabling, this software is capable of removing these viruses from a USB.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pakorbit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/antivirus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-664\" alt=\"antivirus\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pakorbit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/antivirus.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakorbit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/antivirus.jpg 620w, https:\/\/pakorbit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/antivirus-300x113.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Combination of these\u00a0software\u2019s\u00a0mentioned in the post would help your PC to protect again different types of Viruses.
