- Use Flashget as
default download manager instead of downloading with Internet explorer.[
as if you download using IE , when the connection with the server breaks
the download begins from the start whereas incase of a downlaod manager
the download resumes from where it stops]. For Opera and Firefox
it has inbuilt download managers.
- Always use an antivirus protection, Keep your antivirus program up-to-date
.Download updates from the internet or updates that come in Digit or
any other PC magzine.I recommend to use Grisoft
AVG Antivirus.Its available in Free & Paid versions. the free versions
has some options lesser than paid version.
- Use Spybot
- Search & Destroy , a program to search & destroy spywares,
malware programs istalled on your computers.This program even removes
cookies that can infect the system,lets you tweak ur browsers.Believe
me its truly an wonderful application to protect your computer those
who spend most of their time on the internet.
- Use iolo
System Mechanic which is just another program to protect your
computer from spywares , mallwares,trojans.
- You can use Zone
Alarm as Firewall.
