General protection measures
|
|
Original software
|
|
|
Use only original
manufacturer software. Make a work copy of original software that you need to
use every day. Keep your original software in a safe place.
|
|
|
Backup
|
|
|
Back
up your data at regular intervals. Normally it is much more easy to
use a backup than to restore an infected system.
|
|
|
In
companies
|
|
|
Avoid
using private software. Always check disks and CDs from external
sources for viruses. Always clarify abnormal PC behavior.
|
|
|
If
infected
|
|
|
Make
sure that you clean each and every hard drive, CD, or disk that has
been infected! A single infected file can destroy your entire
system. |
|
|
Updates...
|
|
|
...are the most important part of any antivirus
program. For every new version you do not have, there are lots of
new viruses that are not entered in your software. A program version
that is even only a few months old without being updated essentially
no longer provides protection.

Virus
consulting service
|
|
|
If
you detect a new virus or an unfamiliar phenomenon, please send a
copy of the suspicious program to the AVK Internet Ambulance. We
will analyze the problem and provide you with a remedy as soon as
possible.
|
|
|
Boot-up
sequence
|
|
|
Many virus problems can be avoided by simply using
the boot-up sequence C:, A:. You can make this setting and change
it as required in the CMOS setup menu (hold down the Del key during
boot-up).
|
|
|
Check
your drives
|
|
|
Whenever you start your
computer ensure that a disk is not in the drive (there is a
danger of boot sector viruses - even if the disk is not a system
disk!).
