Question:
I am concerned about protecting my computer from viruses. What should I do?

Answer:
Viruses have become very common on the internet and you can have one without even knowing it. Even worse, if you have a virus that you are unaware of, you can spread it to your friend's computer just by e-mailing him/her! We strongly recommend that you go to http://free.grisoft.com and download AVG AntiVirus. It is an excellent piece of software and everyone at Mount Vernon Net uses it. Be sure to keep it updated since new viruses come out almost every day! To do this, simply open the program and click the "Check for Updates" button when you are connected to the internet. This will download new patches and updates for the software.
