Viruses

Don't become a victim! Emails, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and even web pages can act as carriers of viruses. Practicing these simple habits will help protect your system:

Never open attachments that are executable such as simple programs, games, or screensavers (these will contain file extensions of ".exe", ".vbs", and ".scr"). Also, never open attachments that contain a double file extension (such as ".txt.vbs").

Scan all floppies, CD-ROMs, and DVD-ROMs that are inserted into your computer. You just never know if a nasty virus is lurking on a seemingly innocent disk.

As a precaution, back up all of the important files on your computer. There's nothing quite like the peace
of mind that comes from knowing that copies of your irreplaceable data are safe from viruses and other threats.
