Keep the system protected from Win32.TRDldr.FraudLo

[Arumugan]

Kindly help me on how to keep the system protected from Win32.TRDldr.FraudLo. The Quick Heal antivirus that I am using in my system helps me to delete the infections only after they gain entry into the computer. But, I do not understand how they come into my system. I need some technique that can alert me when it tries to enter the system. It is better if some method helps to reject it before it gets into the system. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.

Hello there, inorder to keep the system protected from Win32.TRDldr.FraudLo, enable the firewall in your system. When you use this technique, the firewall becomes the entry point for all the data and information that come into the system, when it is on the network. If you are uncomfortable with the in-built Windows firewall, then use any third party firewall.
