Protect the system from TROJ_FAKEAV.DJZ

[Abbie]

Is there any technique that can be used to protect the system from TROJ_FAKEAV.DJZ. I am using Windows XP operating system with Avast antivirus and my browser is Opera 10. The problem is that I cannot understand how the infections get into the system. I can get rid of the infections after they enter into the computer, but I need something that can remove them before they gain entry into the computer.

It is suggested that the pirated softwares should not be downloaded from the web to protect the system from TROJ_FAKEAV.DJZ and such other infections. The attackers generally embed such infections with the pirated softwares, since they know that many users will be attracted to the pirated softwares and this is the best way to spread the infections across the world. So, it is better to avoid such downloads.
