To get proper protection from virus

[Abhibhava]

I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus. It takes a long time if set on full system scan. Is there a way to reduce the scan time and get proper scanning tool. Other thing is how to get proper protection from virus. One option is antivirus what are the others. And my friend has installed Trillian in my PC. Does it can scan incoming viruses. If yes then how. Does DVD's also has virus in them. How to get rid of them.

If you turn your computer off after use and therefore don't have Kaspersky set to scan overnight, you try setting this application to scan only the files that have changed recently. By not checking every file in the system, this results in shorter scans. To get proper protection from virus you have to install the best or good antivirus software in your computer.

It is quite easy to protect your computer from viruses, worms, and Trojan horses: you have to install a better antivirus program (for example, Norton AntiVirus 2007, McAfee or ZoneAlarm) and you have to up date it daily. A good antivirus scanner will not only be able to remove but also stop all the viruses, worms, or Trojan horses that try to enter you computer, it will also be able to delete all malware which are installed on your computer.

It is very important to keep your antivirus submission updated (it’s not compulsory that you upgrade the main software package yearly) and that you download and install the latest antivirus detection databases frequently, because hundreds of new viruses and worms are released now and then. If you don’t keep the detection databases in the program up-to-date, the application won’t be able to remove and repair anything new that finds its way onto your PC. Consult the help file or manual for your antivirus program to find out how to do this (most are able to update themselves automatically).

You have to make sure that, your friends do not denote to send you any viruses or if they then, to get rid of such doudt by having Trillian mechanically scan all the incoming files for viruses. Be warned, though: Trillian doesn't come with all antivirus capabilities of its own, so you still need to BYOVC (that's right: Bring Your Own Virus regulator.) Just click Trillian, then Trillian Preferences, then File Transfers, and select the scanner for the virus.

To get proper protection from virus from here, you move over need to type in the file corridor to your antivirus software or just browse around until you find it. One more best tip is to see if any CD or DVD that you have bought should not have a virus, just look at the drive you have put it in and then you start the scan. If it does have a virus then take it out and do a full scan of your computer better safe than sorry.
