You maintain your own health and well being by:

• keeping your inoculations up to date;
• maintaining a healthy lifestyle eg. exercising, eating well, maintaining a good level of personal hygiene and taking care with your own safety and security;
• when all else fails, take medicine.

Keeping your computer healthy is pretty similar…

• Inoculations:
• You can install and run programs which monitor your computer for attacks and neutralise them before they cause a problem;
• Lifestyle:
• Keep your computer files tidy;
• Be sure to back up your important data and store the backup somewhere away from your computer;
• Be careful about which programs you install - especially about anything you download from the internet;
• run software that helps to keep your computer clean and tidy;
• think carefully about which e-mails you open and which you answer;
• Medicine:
• Despite everything you do, you may still get attacked. There are a variety of ways of cleaning up and repairing when this happens.
