Installing anti-virus software is a great start. You should also keep your operating system and software up-to-date, and be cautious when opening emails or downloading files from unknown sources.<|im_end|>

What's the best way to keep my software up-to-date?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Most operating systems and software have automatic update features. Make sure those are turned on, and you'll receive notifications when updates are available. You can also manually check for updates periodically.<|im_end|>

That sounds easy. What if my computer does get a virus?<|im_end|>

If you suspect your computer has a virus, disconnect from the internet and run a full scan with your anti-virus software. If the problem persists, you may need to seek help from a professional or the manufacturer's support team.<|im_end|>
