  • How can I avoid getting spyware or virus'?
    You can avoid infecting your machine with virus' and spyware by following some simple rules: 1. Do NOT open any email attachments from people you don't know. We would also suggest reaching out to the sender and make sure they did send you the attachment. Sometimes people are infected with a virus or spyware that will take control of their email account and send malicious attachments to anyone on their contact list. 2. Use Google Chrome web browser. Google's browser will warn you if you are going to a suspicious web site and ask you if you want to continue before you pull up the web site. 3. If you do get infected DO NOT continue using your computer until it has been swept for virus' and spyware.
