Antivirus helps but only if you update regularly
"The poll results show that only 24% of users update their [antivirus] solution at least once a day." That's from a report by antivirus firm Kaspersky Labs.
New viruses come out frequently. There's a profit motive behind them now. Old viruses that are already blocked don't make as much money. Bad guys are pressured financially to write new viruses all the time in the hope that they can stay ahead of antivirus firms.
Did you get a free antivirus product with your computer? It probably came with only 30 days of free updates. You need to get online and pay for an update subscription.
