This guide was written to provide a foundation of security on your system. It will not guarantee you 100% safety, but it will reduce the risks of infection greatly. I will update this guide as I find more relevant information.
Basics to being secure on the web
First of all, no security in the world can keep you completely safe from every single unique malware created. The number one way to stay safe is having safe surfing habits. Remember, preventing a virus from ever winding its way onto your PC in the first place is the best way to keep safe.
Safe surfing habits means you don't just Google something and click on the first result that comes up. It would be good to get in a habit of checking websites you browse to. You can easily do that with a quick Google search of " [website URL] good or bad?". The way I do it is checking on McAfee's Siteadvisor website: Siteadvisor. Do a quick search on there, read some of the reviews, and make your decision on if you should go onto that website or not.
