in an ideal world we wouldnt have to worry about such things. but unfortunately we do.

so the best way and only true way to protect your computer from internet attacks and virus's is to not connect to the internet at all.

if you dont want to break your operating system.. dont turn on your computer.

and all will be fine.

as fast as an os or browser or any update to a program along comes a fix , a patch and so on to make it more secure.
but on the other side of the coin. so does another bug,infection,virus,trojan,spyware and malware.


how do we protect ourselve?

one make a fresh install of your os and all programsd you like the best. then on a seperate small external drive you make a ghost copy of your system..like a snapshot and keep that copy to the side just in case.

if you do experience a problems. do a system restor back a few days to see if that takes care of the problem.

run multiple drives and partitions to keep games, music, programs, videaos, pictures. all seperate so if one area gets infected not all do.

if your a geek you can run your drives ina raid configuration where you can have multiple drives being writtten to at the same time that way if one drive gets hit you have a backup copy or if a drive fails you have a drive you can just replace on the fly.


if your not a geek. get an external hard drive, a flash drive , andy thing to backup your information to. so when you do need to do a system restore god forbid. it wont take you a few days to do it.


good luck all
