Virus Prevention Tips:
Do PC’s get more viruses than Macs?
In one word, yes! There are still more Windows computers being used than Macs. That means that the virus creators look to get more bang for their buck. Viruses may only be created for one type of format, Windows operating systems or Apple operating systems. So, these evil-doers create a virus that will infect the most amount of systems, PC computers. Creating the most havoc is their goal, and our end game here is to ensure you are protected against such maliciousness. That being said, Macs still get viruses and are getting attacked more and more. You are certainly not immune to viruses, trojans, and spyware just because you are a Mac user.
Be careful with email attachments
Email services like Gmail and Outlook ask for your permission before downloading an attachment. There’s a reason for that. Downloading an attachment can be dangerous. While email services often have virus protection built into their software, emails with viruses as attachments can still reach your inbox.
Cybercriminals often try to spread a virus with spamming emails. They send the emails with malicious attachments to a multitude of people. Once opened and executed, the virus can install in the background and begin its work.
If you don’t know the person who sent you an email attachment — or if the email looks like it could be a phishing attempt — then ignoring it might be your best option. Only click on attachments or download files from your email if you trust the source.
Avoid questionable websites
It might be tempting to get a free copy of a game, movie, or application that everyone else has to pay for. But if you download a cracked or illegal version of software, your computer or mobile device could be at risk.
Pirated software often comes from difficult-to-find websites or peer-to-peer sharing, both of which contain users who may simply be looking for their favorite movie, or those who are looking to spread a virus.
