Computer viruses after everywhere these days, but that doesn't mean you need to leave yourself vulnerable. With some basic knowledge, you can prevent most viruses and hackers from having a chance at infecting your computer. This includes keeping your operating system software up to date, as well as all other software, such as your router firmware. It also means using security features built into Windows or your operating system, such as User Account Control, or UAC. You should also upgrade to the latest version of Windows for maximum computer security against viruses, because they are always adding more features, such as those from the now obsolete Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, or EMET.

Become a hacker yourself and know how attackers will try to get into your computer so you can prevent it.

One of my friend had a belief that a laptop develops immunity over time after a lot of virus attacks.😂

What if your PC is so slow a virus is afraid of infecting your PC?

You could try hiring a security guard to stand watch 24/7

Just disconnect your computer from internet. Turn it off. Take out all the drives, hide them in a safe. put the safe in a box and throw it into Mariana Trench and you're good to go! No virus can get in or get out!

Very nice content Joe! Thank you so much!!!

Your video covers a lot of areas. I forgot about checking Java. Well done.

Use open source software whenever possible. Even if you don't plan to look at the source code yourself, you know many eyes are already on it. It is unlikely that things like backdoors or nefarious functions make their way into source code that every person is free to look at.

one thing to note. when you configure to opendns on your router, you might have to do the same for your smartphone. some apps on my phone like youtube weren't loading. after switching the dns servers to opendns on my phone it was back to normal.

Thanks for the tips, but you forgot the best option: stay offline! I'm a long time PC user but just opted for offline computing since 2011. I have offline workstations connected to a tethered internal network, no security software to clog up the performance. The only connection to the internet is a USB stick that gets scanned daily. I have a little mangy dusty desktop for online stuff, filled to the brim with the latest anti-malware apps. Perfect for emails and internet nonsense.

I always love your videos like this because I get such tech anxiety so I want to know everything!!!
