it's your way you use your computer.
Some basic rules:
- do not use an account with administrative permissions for normal work, surfing etc.
- use different internet browsers like Opera or Firefox. Same applies to the Mail application
- make sure your operating system and applications have the most recent security updates.
- use only software from reliable sources

lets just say the antivirus my pc came with doesnt work...
Well, they normally install a 30 day trial, not more.

so right now i have 278 spywares and viruses and they're at high risks.
my pc is very slow as you might imagine.
Read this article very carefully:
