To avoid viruses and other malicious software on your PC, follow these professional and practical steps:

✅ 1. Use Reliable Antivirus Software

Install a trusted antivirus (e.g., Bitdefender, Norton, Kaspersky, Windows Defender).

Keep it up to date and run regular full system scans.

Use the Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall to block unauthorized access.

Ensure it’s always enabled.

Don’t click on unknown email links or open unexpected attachments.

Avoid downloading files from untrusted sources or pirated websites.

✅ 5. Install Software from Trusted Sources Only

Use official websites or reputable platforms like the Microsoft Store or verified vendors.

Never use cracked software — it’s a common virus source.

✅ 6. Use a Strong Browser and Enable Safe Browsing

Use browsers like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox with security extensions.

Enable phishing protection and pop-up blockers.
