      *  Installed on your PC protection solution against information threats.

      *   Always install updates for your operating system and applications are designed to fill gaps in their security. If you are using Microsoft ® Windows ®, you do not need to manually download the updates every month, sufficient to establish the automatic mode - Start | Control Panel | Security Center, Windows ® (Start | Control Panel | Security Center). If you use a software package Microsoft ® Office, do not forget to install the update it regularly.
      *  If you received an e-mail message with an attached file (document Word, spreadsheet Excel, an executable file with a. EXE, etc.), do not open the attachment, if the sender of the letter you do not know. Do not open attachments unless you are expecting to get such a message. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do not open attachments sent in spam messages (spam). 

      *    Regularly (at least once a day) install software updates to ensure the safety of your computer.
