Download3k's security recommendations

1. Install an antivirus

In order to keep your computer free of malware, we recommend that you always have an antivirus program installed, especially when downloading and installing new programs from the web. At least once a day, run its database update program. This will allow your antivirus to stay up to date with the latest badware threats and better protect your computer data.

If you don't have a powerful antivirus solution protecting your computer already, you may consider one from our recommendations: Avira AntiVir Premium, Bitdefender Antivirus 2009, Kaspersky Antivirus 2009.

2. Choose a safe web browser

An important aspect to keep in mind is what web browser you use. Most browser exploits and viruses target Internet Explorer so it's best you consider an alternative.

The safest web browser available Today is considered to be Mozilla Firefox. Besides being FREE, it's fast, has pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing and privacy and security features. So give it a try! Download Mozilla Firefox.
