Webmaster Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 If your using Windows, make sure your computer has; Anti-Spyware, Anti-Virus, Firewall. Free Anti-Virus: AVG http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-anti-virus-free/lng/us/tpl/v5 Free Firewall: ZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en Free Anti-Spyware: Windows Defender (formarly Microsoft Anti-Spyware) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx This may be already on your system, as it is now a Windows XP Automatic Update. It goes without saying but make sure that you update the above software at least weekly. (Each program gives you a way of updating to the latest protection when you have the program open; AVG - 'Update', ZoneAlarm - should issue a pop-up box when there is a new version), Windows Defender should be updated automatically by your Windows XP 'Automatic Update'. Also make sure you download and install all of the Windows XP updates (which are delivered through Automatic Update, or http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ ) If you are using Internet Explorer as your web browser; it might be a wise decision to download and use Mozilla Firefox (button at bottom of the page). This is because many of the Windows Security problems have been because of vulnerabilities found and exploited by hackers in the Internet Explorer web browser. P.S. If you download Firefox by clicking the button at the bottom of this page 'Get Firefox with Google Toolbar', you will be donating $1 to Pigeonbasics.com :)

dandydoo Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 Carl you may also want to burn a "rescue disk" just in case that will allow you to recover everything to as it is now
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 IF YOU HAVE THE WINDOWS DEFENDER YOU HAVE TO LOG ON TO THE SITE AND UPDATE IT TO THE NEW VERSION AS THIS IS NOT AN AUTOMATIC UPDATE, I HAD TO DO THIS TODAY BECAUSE THE CURRENT VERSION OF THIS WILL CEASE TO BE AVAILABLE AFTER 31 ST DECEMBER
