    Downloader-BPG gains entry into the computer

    I am using Windows XP operating system and my browser is IE 8. The Avast antivirus that I am using in my system helps me to delete the same, but still it keeps entering the system and I am irritated by its alerts every now and then. So, Downloader-BPG gains entry into the computer and I need some technique to stop it from doing so. Please provide the necessary solutions as soon as possible.

    Enable a firewall in the system

    If Downloader-BPG gains entry into the computer, then enable a firewall in the system. This is a security component that checks for all the data and information that enters into the system from the network. So, when it is on the internet, it becomes an entry point for all the data that is coming into the system. If you are not comfortable with the default Windows firewall, then use a third party firewall.

    Do not accept file transfers from unknown users

    Do not accept file transfers from unknown users if Downloader-BPG gains entry into the computer. The attackers generally try to make friendship by chatting with you. After some time, they will convince you to accept some file, which they will describe as a very good file that contains some useful or good stuff. It is your responsibility to be alert and decline such invitations.

    Avoid downloading pirated software

    I suggest you to avoid downloading pirated software if Downloader-BPG gains entry into the computer. Many unsuspected users fall prey to such an attack. So, the attackers embed the infections along with the pirated softwares, so that when a user will download the pirated software, the infections will automatically gain entry into the system. So, it is better to avoid such downloads.
