Essential for surfing the internet! Comprehensive defense against viruses in the Broadband Age

Broadband also gives us a faster Internet access speed, but also brings convenience to the spread of viruses. How to prevent viruses becomes a crucial issue. We can kill viruses in the following ways.

Step 1: Make sure you have a strong password for the administrator.

According to the data, many people only use images conveniently when installing Windows 2000 or Windows XP without considering the security issues. Members of the Administrator team only use simple passwords such as 12345 and abcde, no password. This opens the door for virus intrusion. The viruses exploited by this vulnerability include the password worm, the "Supnot" virus, and the recent Angot virus. Before broadband access, you must make a strong password for the Administrator. The so-called strong password is usually composed of letters, numbers, and special characters with a length of no less than 8 characters.

Step 2: Install the Network Firewall

Network Firewall is usually the first line of defense for viruses to intrude into the desktop system. An operating system with no repair vulnerabilities will be attacked by many known viruses when accessing broadband, it is unlikely that there are stable network connections to download and install the patch. If the Kingsoft subnet is installed with the shock wave virus, you will find that Kingsoft subnet continuously successfully blocks the shock wave virus attacks from a certain IP address when you access broadband. Leave sufficient time for the establishment of the next security barrier.

Step 3: update anti-virus software

With the network firewall, the second line of defense should be anti-virus software updated in real time because other system vulnerabilities have not been repaired and virus intrusion is still possible. When I upgraded Kingsoft drug overlord 6 in my Windows 2000 broadband access, the firewall successfully cleared the latest Ange virus. When using anti-virus software, set it to automatic update as much as possible. Currently, Kingsoft drug overlord is updated every day. Remember, installing outdated anti-virus software means no anti-virus software.

Step 4: Use Windows Update to download and install all important updates

Microsoft has provided automatic update for the operating system since Windows 98 SE. Unfortunately, not all users use it. I have seen that many users will turn off the Windows Update download program icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Windows is not automatically updated by default. When you access broadband and Update anti-virus software, it is best to use Windows Update to download all important updates.

If you do the above, your system is much less likely to be attacked by viruses. You will find that you do not need to frequently use the full scan function of anti-virus software. You will have more time to fully enjoy the fun of broadband.
