Greetings --

Actually, this advice applies to _any_ operating system, not just
Windows-=based platforms.

If your computer is a on a Windows Platform you need to disable the
Services that Windows leaves opens, for starters. Most home users
aren't using a Virtual Private Network, Mail Server, FTP Server, TCP
Server and so on. You also need to install a Firewall, whether it
be
software or hardware oriented ONLY before you put your computer on
the
Internet. Trojan Horses disable anti-virus and firewalls. An
anti-virus application will secure your computer to "some" degree,
but
NOT unless you can secure your e-mail, browser and internet settings
and

applications. Without the above security, the malicious hackers are
already abusing your computers to take down Networks, Servers, trade
drugs, guns, bo*bs, and so on.
This is only a small list of areas which deal with security,
malware,
backdoors, trojan horses and more.
