We know that virus is sucks. Make our PC running slowly and sometime make it crash (especially Windows operating system). All that we can do if our PC infected by virus is install some antivirus (If you haven’t one) or update your antivirus or maybe try to heal it manually.

Prevent the virus infect the computer is better than waiting the virus spread and infect your computer. Do some tips from me:

1. Install Antivirus

2. Update it at least once a week.

3. Turn off the autorun.

From Windows you can turn off it from Run (Start > Run) and type gpedit.msc
select User Configuration > Adminstrative Templates > System
Double click Turn Off Autoplay and choose Enabled and select for All Drives and OK.

4. Be aware of documents file type. Show the complete file type.

If you use Windows Explorer, be sure you displayed the complete file name with extension file.
Select Tools > Folder Options > View and do some actions like:
- Select “Show hidden Files and Folders”
- Uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types”.

This actions to make sure that your files not infected by virus.

That we know, most of the virus infect the office documents. From the extension we can’t cheated by the virus because the logo of the file. The logo is the same but the extension file is changed. For example word document with extension file *.doc changed with *.exe. We can surely know that the file was infected by the virus.
