Virus protection for your Windows PC - what you should consider

The topic of IT security is becoming increasingly important in society. Too often it has come out that data was simply stolen and published by hackers. You should therefore take the right measures to ensure that your PC is protected against viruses and other malware.

How to protect Windows against viruses?

Surfing the Internet with a PC that is not protected, you can quickly catch a virus. Most viruses are relatively harmless and only show you certain advertisements. Nevertheless, you should protect yourself against the danger.

1. At the moment, Windows' native protection, Windows Defender, already does a very good job. However, even the best system can make mistakes. For this reason, you should always rely on a redundant system and still install an extra antivirus program.
2. Also make sure that Windows is always up to date and you have installed all important security updates. To do this, simply enter "Update" in the search bar at the bottom left and click "Check for updates".
3. The greatest danger comes from e-mails. Klicken Sie auf keinen Fall auf einen Link in einer E-Mail, den Sie nicht selbst angefordert haben. Gehen Sie einfach direkt auf die Webseite und melden Sie sich an, damit niemand Ihre Daten auf einer Fake-Webseite abgreifen kann.
