A few beginner tips

I just thought tonight I would throw out a few beginner tips that will save you from a lot of work cleaning up a computer.

1. If a website tells you you have to install a toolbar to use it leave the site 
2. Don't download something you don't know what is.
3. Don't install something just because it popped up and told you to.
4. If you suddenly get an email or message from a friend that has an attachment that you were not expecting don't open it until you check with your friend to make sure they sent it.
5. I suggest using either Google Chrome or FireFox for your browser instead of Internet Explorer they are much safer
6. When you do install programs watch for any check boxes or anything that mentions it installing toolbars or addons and uncheck these boxes before installing the program

These tips will help prevent you from getting a lot of the malware that is out there. With 70,000+ new threats coming out per day we all need to do everything we can to protect our computers.
If you think your computer already has malware I would highly suggest getting Malware Bytes to remove it you can pick it up Here
