Monthly and preferably after Microsoft announces their latest security fixes, visit www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com and let the site scan your system. Download anything which is labeled 'Critical'.

2. Use a software and a hardware firewall: If you have a broadband Internet service, you can never be too safe. D-Link, Belkin, Linksys and other companies sell inexpensive broadband gateways that bounce back worm attacks that would otherwise infect your system.

Turn off scripting behaviors in Internet Explorer. You must alter Internet Explorer's scripting settings to block the threat. To do this follow the instructions below: -

In IE, click Tools, Internet Options, Security. Choose the Earth icon under 'Select a Web content zone', and click Custom Level. You will be given 3 options in the dialog: Disable, Enable, and Prompt. Do not enable everything. However, being prompted every time a script or ActiveX control is attempting to run will drive you mad. Disable 'Download unsigned ActiveX controls', 'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe', 'Active scripting', and 'Scripting of Java applets.' Finally, set 'Java permissions' to High Safety.

With scripts disabled, lots of your commonly visited Web sites may not open. If this happens, just add the URLs for these sites and services to IE's 'Trusted Sites' list. To do this, open IE and click Tools, Internet Options, Security. Select the Trusted Sites icon, click Sites, and then input the URLs one at a time. Uncheck require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone, and click OK.
