Install and Run Antivirus

This article applies to: Secure Your Computer and Mobile Device

Always run antivirus software configured for daily updates and active monitoring.

Antivirus software helps keep your computer free of malicious software (viruses, worms, Trojan horses, etc.). You also need to protect yourself against spyware and adware, which could gather your personal information or create an opening for more serious threats. Please see the Antivirus information for details.
