Like its biological predecessor, a computer virus can be caught in a lot of different circumstances. It may be impossible to prevent your computer from exposure but a series of defensive mechanisms should be able to stop the infection. They include:
- Automatic updates installation for the operating system (Windows, Mac, etc) and all software
- A registered and functioning anti-virus
- Use either the native Mac or Windows firewall or a third-party firewall on your computer
- Use the NoScript and FlashBlock extensions for Firefox or FlashControl and ScriptBlock for Chrome
- Switch to Linux or use the security-oriented Tails or QubesOS operating systems
Furthermore, detailed guides are available in the Surveillance Self Defense project and the Security in-a-box toolkit.
