2. The second step you need to take is to ensre you have active protection. NO FREE CLIENT gives enough active protection. In fact almost ALLLLLLLLL and I stress that piont, don’t even give you any protection on the front end. They only kick in after you have been infected. If you are using a free client or yours is about to expire then consider downloading a trial of Spyware Doctor with Antivirus. This is the client I personally use and recommend out to everyone. The makers are PCTOOLS. This is a superb product and will prevent infection in the first place.

3. The next step to avoid the Conficker C virus is to avoid websites you are not familiar with and free products that you are unfamiliar with. Such items include, Torrent websites and files that can be downloaded from those sites, PRON sites. Just about any website that is ofering free software. While many can be trusted be sure to do your research on the product before you attempt to download it.

If you practice just these 3 prevention tips then chances are you will not become infected and your computer will live a happy life. You can see it’s not hard to do. The biggest problem many people have is they want to use a free virus client. That is a big mistake and it will come back to bite you.
