    The antivirus has to be kept well updated

    To prevent TROJ_DLOADR.ANL from entering the system, you just have to remember that the antivirus has to be kept well updated. Avast is a very good antivirus. By updating the database of the antivirus, the signatures of the new infections are added into the database of the antivirus. With this, whenever the infections try to enter into the system, the antivirus will alert about the same and you can get rid of the infection.

    Beware of social engineering

    I advice you to beware of social engineering to prevent TROJ_DLOADR.ANL from entering the system. The attackers pose as a friend and try to send you some file that contains malicious contents. They may sometimes pose as an administrator of some offiicl site and ask you to provide the user id and password for some resetting purpose. You just need to stay alert to decline such invited threats.
