Computer virus, beware!
The main reasons a computer becomes virus infected is by clicking on unknown links in websites or spam emails, or downloading unknown programs which install viruses and malware.
To avoid this, here are some tips we suggest;
1. Download Malwarebytes (anti-malware software):
2. Update it manually once a week, and run a scan of it once a fortnight
3. DO NOT install or allow programs to run if you don't know them (even if the program calls itself as an anti-virus software)
4. When browsing websites, avoid clicking on unknown links, advertisements or pop ups
5. Disable “pop ups” in your Internet browser
